    Slow boot after installing 2nd SSD

    I think broe23 was right-- I just left the computer on for awhile and the boot delay essentially went away (about 3 seconds between the logo and full boot exists, but that seems to be the same when I remove the 2nd drive).

    Solved Password still required on boot up
