so I did goods? LOL

Yes that one looks fine.

I'm still not sure what is going on with the Kingston though.

Odd readings but if it works okay then??????

Maybe a Snip/ picture of the Kingston also.
Might be helpful.

yea the kingston sucks big time, BUT my rig boots in less than 17 seconds! I might get another 120gb SSD drive for it I have a feeling it might be the other HD drive slowing it down, cuzz I know THAT effects the WEI scores when I dont disconnect it

It's not supposed to. WEI is supposed to be only the OS drive.

How about the alignment - is that correct: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/113967-ssd-alignment.html?ltr=S

Well I remember in the Wei post, they tell you to make sure u disconnect all other hard drives when doing the WEI test as the other HD impact the test in a negative way

Im not sure thats true.
The WEI should only test the drive Windows is on.

Mine always show the same whether its the SSD only, or if I have 3 spinners connected as well at the time of the test.

I could be mistaken, but have never noticed such behavior here anyway.


Disconnecting all other drives except the main SSD is a good idea for the initial Windows installation though. Although it may not always be needed, I still recommend a clean install to a new SSD this way.

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

My WEI score is the same whether I connect only the SSD or whether I have 3TB of other mechanical hard drives connected along with the SSD.

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?

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

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, :sarc: 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! :shock: thats horrible...also I dont wanna lose any data if I do the alignment

 

[essenbe]

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.

 

[beman36]

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

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

 

[beman36]

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!
