2 Laptops (Compaq 515 and Chrome CR-48)

Compaq 515
AMD Sata Controller with Drivers
WDC Sata (I guess 7200RPM) 320GB
WEI Score: 7.3

CR-48
Intel ICH7 SATA Controller with Drivers
Sandisk SSD 16GB
WEI Score: 5.9

I thought that in general, SSD's were supposed to have higher read/write speeds, and I thought thats all WEI went for on the HDD score. I think it might be considering HDD space though too, but idk.

Should these scores be right?

An SSD would get a score higher than 5.9, but only if it was on an AHCI bus, and only if it reports itself as an SSD - after that, the WEI tests would determine how high it would go. In general, I've seen SSDs score low on ICH controllers prior to ICH9 (and even then, some ICH9 chipsets were painfully slow), so an ICH7 might not be using the full AHCI spec properly and thus screwing up the score.

You could run the tests on both manually (winsat disk -v) and see what the scores are, and get an idea of why a particular SSD isn't reporting faster than a mechanical disk.

What I'd like to know is how you got a 7200RPM disk to report 7.3...

I've never seen any kind of 7200RPM go above 5.9

Give it enough cache and a firmware to try and cache everything, and it's possible. I'd like to know too, though.

idk how I got it either (installed win7 x64 the other day and had 7.3, just installed win7 x86 today and got 7.2)

I didn't do anything special to my drives either in terms of firmware changing n that. However it came is how it is now.

My exact HDD is a WDC WD32 00BEKT-60V5T1 SATA Disk Drive (from device manager)

@Cluberti

I suppose. Although I think that would be kind of hard on a laptop.

@Espionage
Just a standard 320GB Scorpio Black?

Congrats! You, my friend, quite possible owns the fastest 320GB Scorpio Black in all the planet :)

Getting that high a score with a spinning drive is something I've not seen before. Can you open an elevated command prompt and type in: "winsat disk" (without quotes) and hit Enter
Post a snip of the window when finished.

That is interesting - although it does show it's limitations in Random Read performance and reads with sequential writes (which is what is the best indicator of actual performance in Windows), you score extremely high in latency (due to the low score), which is likely where you're getting the biggest bump. For example, on an admittedly older system running a 10K WD Raptor drive, I get a 5.9 - even though most of my scores are equal to, or better than, yours:

The difference appears to be the Latency scores, which your disk does much better in than mine, and in the overall time to run the tests (meaning your disk is a slight bit faster at doing I/O work, which is expected as well with more cache and a faster system).

Hmm, I see

Well I just threw Win7 x64 on my other laptop with the SSD in it, so after I get drivers and that on it, I'll do that winsat disk -v thing on it as well.

I was copying something from a DVD though at the time but idk if it affected anything or not.

It's not reporting scores properly. It's giving you scores of over 7 when it shouldn't be. Compare yours to mine and you'll see what I mean.

Your maximum latency is 110ms but it's giving you a 7.7!

Your maximum latency is 110ms but it's giving you a 7.7!

Hmm, is there any other comparisons? Like maybe any latency below 200-300 is within the 7.0 range?

But even if so, 2 to 100ms latency should have a bigger score difference

It would be worth looking into deeper for sure. Maybe we can get some other folks who have faster HDDs to compare to others with SSDs and see if there's a trend?

Hmm, well it's not a driver issue, standard and intel drivers give the same scores pretty much.

If you had access to a second SSD, it'd be worth testing to see if it also gets a 1.9. x.9 scores usually indicate a built-in limitation you're running into, and 1.9 was common in hard drive scores where the controller or firmware was at fault - putting in another drive would rule out firmware if it repro'd with another SSD.
