Show Us Your WEI [3]

It also says a fresh w7 install. That's why I asked if it was a Vista PC, meaning when new?

Welcome to SF too!

I've manage to finally get my Disk transfer rate up 0.1 to 7.9 by upgrading my Vertex 3 to a Vertex 4.

This is odd, because I've had a 120GB Vertex 3 in my Toshiba laptop (i5-2410M SB CPU, 8GB RAM) for one year now, and I just re-ran my WEI scores, and I get a 7.9 every time. Here's my last result: (see .jpg)

Do you idle/log off from the drive at least one overnight per week? I've noticed it really seems to help.

My Vertex 3 was only 60Gb and it was over half full, it apparently makes a difference with the sandforce controller.

After reformatting yesterday my score has shot up from 7.2 to 7.7, something has happened to my Graphics card :)

Hi, Vipermk2 - yes, it's quite obvious by now that the lower the capacity of the SSD, the lower the performance. Apparently this is a limitation imposed by both the physics and the geometry of the chips and their layout.

I would suggest a more rigorous benchmark, PCMark 7 - (although it is heavily weighted to drive / controller subsystem performance):

Windows 7 speed test - Benchmark your windows 7 PC

Just as a reference, here's my laptop's last score (see .jpg)



Also, I agree very much with your sig...

"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless, uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you? "

...but I'm not sure what you mean by "uninhabited". It's clear that you & I are here, along with about 7 billion other h. sapiens in this universe. That is, unless you're into solipsism, which is easily shot down. And yes, its meaninglessness almost imposes the laugh response. We weren't asked to be brought here, yet here we are. Simply because of 5 or 6 minutes of grunting on the part of our biological parents. And 9 months later, <POOF!>, we emerged, along with our respective takes on this universe. It's so bizarre. But "hahaha", nevertheless...

Y'all with SSDs should slow down on WEI assessments and benchmarks, both cause unneeded drive writes.
