new SSD and WEI still only 7.2?
so i recently installed a new 256gb crucial M4 SSD and migrated my old C: onto it. i've run the windows experience index assessment and it only comes out to a 7.2 for the primary hard disk.
i couldve sworn i read somewhere that an SSD was the only way to get a 7.9 on WEI primary hard disk rating. have i done something wrong? or am i just confused/misguided.
no big deal, i am just curious mostly

7.2 is pretty good... but i do believe the one of the few guaranteed ways to get it would be to have 2 SSDs in a RAID 0 array...
More importantly, if you want to know if you're getting bang for your buck in the SSD you purchased you should use disk benchmarking software like CrystalDiskMark (http://crystalmark.info/software/Cry.../index-e.html/) and AS SSD Benchmark (http://alex-is.de/PHP/fusion/downloa...?download_id=9)
Compare the results with others who have the same drive..
Conventional HDDs of all types are capped at 5.9..

aaahhh! i forgot about raid setups. those just don't seem like that great of an idea to me.
thanks!

Verrrry Interesting.. I have a OCZ Vertex 3 120GB. It rates a 7.8.
I wouldn't have thought there'd be a lot of difference in SSD drive performances.

Tanya, I do believe the Vertex 3 has a SandForce controller built into it?
The Sandforce drives are much faster than the Crucial drives in general (coupled with OCZ's in house firmware) but are known not be as reliable as the Marvell based controller the Crucial M4 uses...

Straight up 512 GB, socrgy9. Will not settle for anything less so i can just directly clone my 500 GB laptop HDD into the new drive with mininum hassles of having to move programs or files around...
Thanks for the links though, interesting watch!

thats what i did. but i got an SSD big enough for just my files on C: because mine was 625gb.
i ended up using the paragon migrate os to ssd program. cost 20$ but it made everything smooth sailing. all i had to do was change the boot drive in my mobo bios.
its interesting to know different ssd's would have that kind of a difference in speed. i didnt think there was so much variation
