- seen similar a couple of times, but as you'd appreciate it's not a Passport issue per se, it can happen with any external disk drive.
I have the opposite; takes minutes to boot if a certain external drive is powered up; if I power it down, within 1-2 secs the boot completes and starts the OS. The drive is attached to a monitor hub, if I attach it to another USB port it's fine. The drive is normally powered down.
