1st: I know just enough to be dangerous. I can follow directions & put stuff together, but if it doesn't work, well, I'm no trouble-shooter.
Issue: Building a desktop. Had a barebones box [SSD, DVD, keyboard, mouse, monitor] up and running w/ a new Samsung SSD. Everything was awesome and my WEI score was a 7.3, which was a first/pretty sweet.
Installed two HDDs to move some files between them/ready one for a reformat. Score dropped to 5.9 = expected.
Removed both HDDs/went back to the barebones config, and now the SSD is still only giving me a 5.9. I changed/transferred nothing to/from the SSD while I was working on the HDDs.
Re-ran Samsung's Magician software and double-checked BIOS settings/AHCI/etc, and all seems the same. WTF?
I just want to make sure I'm not losing performance for some stupid reason. Otherwise, I don't give a hoot about the WEI score.
Basics:
Sabertooth Z87 board
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
4095 MB Total available graphics memory
SSD = 173GB Free (233GB Total)
Win7 Ultimate 64 bit
Thanks ahead of time!
