Hello Scotty85, welcome to Seven Forums!

Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out why my HD score is so low. I've tried caching on and off... same score. I've attached some HDTune screenshots and the performance is great. I don't get it. I wanna know what they base their score on.

Areca 1210 RAID Controller - PCIe
2 150GB WD Velociraptors in RAID0-Striped (OS... the new 10k 2.5s with heatsinks)
2 320GB Seagate 7200.11 in RAID0 on on-board Intel RAID (Data, My Docs, etc...)

I think your numbers are excellent...but they won't measure up to an SSD drive for your OS, hence the WEI score you receive.

A 7.9 for HD in WEI is going to take something like below ( a singse Intel X25 SSD can hit 7.8) for 7.9 Raid 0 will be required.

Hello restrada, welcome to Seven Forums!

Hello SK, you need to take the plunge into a (good) SSD, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

RAM prices have gone through the roof recently, this is keeping the SSD's pretty highly priced ...

i wouldn't mind one just big enough for the OS maybe...... to go all out into SSD storage is UBER expensive, good magnetic storage has plenty of years left yet......
