From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The drive was never used as a boot 1. Only for media: videos, photos
All right. Hmm.
I'd still probably try booting up with the external drive disconnected -- should be an easy test -- and seeing if the pre-GRUB delay doesn't show up. If either the BIOS or GRUB is trying to talk to the drive and it's taking a while to respond because it's having problems, something which I have certainly seen many a (well, rotational) drive do, that might account for the delay.
