slow shutdown after a reformat

[ChewAhSoon]

hi all, I have never encountered such a problem before. I reformatted and reinstalled windows 7 on my ssd. after booting into windows I realised the shutdown times were really slow, about 10 minutes. Also, my secondary mechanical HDD was missing. I went into computer manager to check, the drive wasn't allocated to a drive alphabet. I allocated a drive letter to it and all my files are still there, but access were really slow. What happened and how should I fix this?

Shutdown and then disconnect your 2nd drive and see if shutdown still slow?

Your hdd may be failing.
Better to backup important files now.

Very possible, despite the mechanical drive being quite new. I've now unplug the drive and it shuts down very quickly. I used crystal disk info to check the drive. Same thing took awhile to access the drive and read it's details but reports that the drive is still in good condition.

Use HDTune to scan for bad sectors.
Do not check Quick scan.

If disk is ok, check sata and power cables and connection. Faulty connectors and poorly attached disk will have the problem also.
