You can speed up your system shut down by tweaking the time out.

Open up Regedit from start => regedit (type it into start search)


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control] is where you want to end up, so navigate that way.

look for "WaitToKillServiceTimeout". Right click on it, and select modify - change it to 1000


Default Value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=20000
modded value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=1000

On the right panel look for the "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" string and change it value to 1000 by right clicking the string and selecting Modify..

The answer to the question instead of saying ways to tweak is this: No, having multiple hard drives does not make a boot slower than with a single hard drive.
