High WEI scores are great for bragging rights but that isn't their purpose. Their purpose is to provide a benchmark to compare to later to see if hardware performance is slipping, indicating possible hardware problems. It also can be used to see if hardware changes improve performance or not. As long as your setup meets your needs, the actual score is irrelevant as long as that score stays consistent.
In your case, the Primary Hard Disk is now showing a nearly perfect score. This is a good thing. Running a WEI update will also ensure TRIM is turned on
Open an elevated command prompt and run
fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify
the response will be one of the below and will tell you.
DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Windows TRIM commands are disabled)
DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Windows TRIM commands are enabled)
Command prompt is awesome. Why u hate? haha.
And actually the real reason WEI was created was Microsoft wanted every software in stores to have a WEI number on the software, this way people who did not know much about computers could easily tell if there computer could run the software or not. For example if software required a 4.0 base score and your computer was a 3.2 base score you could not run it well.
As you can see, that never happened.
