My mac mini boots from an external SSD connected via USB 3.
Didn't have any issue until i upgrade to Sierra.

Most of the times i boot it load the white bar under Apple logo till 30% - 50% and after that it never boots in system i have to force shut down holding power button and boot again.

Some time i need to do it 2 / 3 times before i can actually boot.
I hear a disk spinning not sure if an external hard drive or internal hard drive.

What could it be? Any one with same issue?
 
Temporarily disconnect the other drives, to see if the problem persists using only the single external boot drive.
