Yeah as said, 11 seconds with 2 mechanical hdds is actually good.... and even if you'd replace them with ssds it won't be much faster, *maybe* 7 seconds... not a big deal lol. Also it depends on motherboard, cpu, etc too... there's really not much you can do about that (and its not actually "slow" anyway)
It seems the issue is linked to ASUS UEFI firmware. Your two ASRock boards boot quickly, while the ASUS units take a long time to start.
