Windows 7 harddisk index score

I have the same problem. I have a 3.0 score for my Hard drive which in Vista had a nice 5.6

It's a 2005 Maxtor 200GB 7200RPM with 8MB of cache (Maxtor 6B200M0)

Try disabling 'write-cache buffer flushing' on drive/s, mine went from 3.0 to 6.0 :)

You don't need RAID, set settings per drive

Device Manager, right click drive, properties, then 'policies' tab.

My SSD scored a 6.3 and I didn't change anything.

Previous 320GB 7200RPM HDD scored a 2.9.

Thanks. I did it again and the score didn't improve at all.

Just disable them both. I did that and my score is now almost twice.
