Mine boots in under 20 seconds. I suggest you have something else bogging down your system. I built my computer in 2015 and have only upgraded the hard drive when the original one croaked last year. I put in an M.2 drive which seems much faster than the old mechanical disks.

I don’t think this is a problem related to disk speed. The computer just sits there silently for a long time. I’ve used a stethoscope to listen for access arm movement, but don’t hear anything. It is either stuck trying to read a bad sector or waiting for something with a long timeout.
