Show us your SSD performance

It doesn't effect my results either. I've got the SSD and WD-500 on the SATAIII ports and a WD-750, for backup, on the SATAII port. I get a consistent 7.9 on WEI.

I suspect the problem may be driver or motherboard related.

My thoughts exactly.

As WHS said, how about the alignment?

A Guy

dunno about the alignment, how do I go about checking that?

Now for the second time: SSD Alignment It helps if you read the posts.

ok from reading the article that you posted the link for, I did a fresh install on a fresh SSD drive, so win7 should have aligned it properly for me, or should I do the alignment and see if that fixes my issue? cuzz I re-ran the WEI and I only get a 6.8! thats horrible...also I dont wanna lose any data if I do the alignment

From the link provided, look under the section that says verification. It shows how to see what the alignment is. That is all you were asked to do. See if the alignment was correct.

ok so I verified and it looks good...what else could be the problem?

well for a fact I know this to be true cuzz I did the test BEFORE my spin hard drive was connected and got 7.6 then when I connected the hard drive and re-did the test it dropped to 7.1...which is why I did the test in that manner cuzz the WEI thread said to do it that way...which I confirmed in my test

Can you open an elevated command prompt and type in: winsat disk and hit enter. Post the results. Do this with all your drives connected

LOL ok this is funny, according to the SSD check allignment test it sees my laptop is NOT aligned, and I get a better score than my gaming rig desktop with the SSD!
