Yes, you need to disable the JMB storage controller, This prevents the JMB storage controller (used for eSATA port on mobo) to report during post thus preventing it from interrupting the splash screen and making it appear that it is loading twice.
Looks like that was why you were getting the Asus logo twice anyway.
See how you go with that.
A SSD is a fantastic upgrade, it will speed up your PC no end.
I will not make any comments about Windows 8 :)
