    longer booting time with the 2 ssd's

    I have installed the 2nd ssd on my mid2010 iMac and the booting time seems to be longer than it was before when i had the HDD inside (ssd was primary). Could it be some setting thats needed to be changed? Could the system be taking time to decide which of the two ssds is in charge or something?
