When my computer boots with out the USB HDD it only takes about 8 sec. But it takes up to a minute with the USB HDD. Is their a way to make Windows wait until desktop show to detect the USB HDD?

Do you use the usb HDD on a hourly basis or a daily basis, if not I would just safely remove it from the system and only use it when needed. As an alternative, if your router has a usb port on it, you could connect to that and use it as a NAS device.
The answer is NO. When you power up your PC, it's going thru POST trying to identify what device you have connected to your PC. In some case, if you HDD is not clean ie. usable but containing errors, the posting process will delay until it can identify the device. Try to run chkdsk /r /f to ensure that your HDD is clean to see if it improves.

Check the Boot Device Arrangement.
Make Sure SSD is on top of the list, making it the 1st device to be booted.
