    Ok I have reinstalled my VPC-Z1 from scratch three times and every time while booting up my new VPC-Z1 with (4 128gb ssd Raid 0) the boot process gets through the bios and then sticks with a blinking cursor on the upper left hand side of the screen for about 15 seconds before continuing to boot to the login screen. My 1 .5 year old z590 boots 22 seconds faster. Any ideas? This new z is taking about a minute to get to the login screen.

    It sounds like the bios is trying to read the raid setup and its taking a while to access it.

    If you have time, try only installing one drive with win 7 installed and see if that also hangs. You might have a faulty drive.
