Why i have 5.9 rating in windows experience

Denis Stoikovski · Mar 2, 2014

Ok i have an a acer predator g3620 and my all rating is 5.9 i have 7.5 from 7.9 cpu 7.7 ram 6.9 graphics (i will change it to gtx 770) and my hard disk is 5.9 why? its one tb one of mine friends got an very old laptop wich rating is 2.9 and his hard disk rating is 5.8 why mine is so low?

Don't trust the WEI, it isn't a good benchmark. The 5.9 is from your storage most likely, only way to get past that is with a SSD.

Use another benchmark like 3Dmark etc.

Is it because you're using a mechanical hard drive and not an SSD?

clutchc · Mar 2, 2014

All HDD systems will rate at 5.9 if it is a 7200 RPM drive. Lower if it is a 5400 RPM drive. The WEI simply takes the lowest rating for their final result. No one goes by that number anyway.

I have never seen a single standard HDD rate higher than 5.9. For a higher score you'd need something like a SSD, or raid array.

It is true the max a mechanical drive can get by itself is 5.9. The only way to exceed it is either using an SSD or by running the benchmark with a caching application running in the background (like Primocache). I was able to get a 6.2 on my computer using the latter as I don't have an SSD. Not that it matters to much but thats all that can be done without an SSD if you really want a higher score.

clutchc :

So even that hdd will have 5.9? IBM 900GB 10000rpm SAS 81Y9654 and how could i know what is my hdd i only know its 1 tb

bignastyid :

Even in RAID 0 I never got past 5.9. They are just too slow compared to SSDs.

veladem · Mar 2, 2014

My SSD only scores like a 7.8 xD It's bogus, trust better benchmarks to rate your components.

jimmysmitty :

I have seen a SAS 15k raid 0 hit 6.1. But SSD is the way to go.

What is the difference between ssd and hdd? and is there any gaming differences?

veladem · Mar 2, 2014

HDD is a physical spinning disk that reads and writes 0's.

SSD is like a MicroSD, it has embedded memory that doesn't have to spin to track/read/write info, making it faster.

argeru · Mar 2, 2014

Like they've said, only way around it really is by getting an SSD and making it your primary drive (the one WEI uses for it's rating) which is a bit more complicated than you'd expect. My OS is on an SSD and it still takes the rating from my hard drive.

Denis Stoikovski · Mar 2, 2014

So the hdd or sdd doesent make any game faster i mean with better fps and mine is good right?

Denis Stoikovski · Mar 2, 2014

lackysami :

Thanks so the sdd is faster in loading windows screen and i think in games like lol but is it more expensive?

clutchc · Mar 2, 2014

Denis Stoikovski :

A HDD faster than 7200 rpm should raise the score for storage a bit, yes. But the most common HDD for desktops is 7200 rpm.

Denis Stoikovski :

I must say, if you play league, clan vs clan, Battlefield 3/4 multiplayer, SW: ToR, LoL, WoW, Skyrim, and many more I can't think of, it makes a big difference.

I get a great rush in CoD, all because 80% of the players load slower then myself.

I get into the AA and scout heli etc. Faster and first because of the SSD.

Skyrim load screens, nearly gone.

SSD's are a awesome investment.

you probably have Hybrid drive or a 10k rpm HDD but yes that is fine but for later i suggest to upgrade to an ssd for like 2-4 second loading times

Yea but the ssd's are 120 gb

Consider an SSD like the Samsung EVO or the Crucial M500. Intel is fine too.

Same here. Raid 0 never sped up a thing for me either.
