Actually it wouldn't be much faster, if any faster, unless I want to leave the side panel off my computer case, or pull the internal HDD out of the case to connect and reconnect.
I have tried every scenario and the results can be simply stated as follows:
The only time the computer boots from cold or restarts in 30 to 40 seconds is when the SSD is the only drive connected.
If you add any other single Drive (External or Internal) even one at a time, the time jumps to 2.5 to 4 minutes. So, when they are all connected it is slow, when the SSD and one other is connected, regardless of which, it is slow.
