Hello Everyone, I know normally this rating doesn't matter but I think I might have a problem that its telling me. I have an overall rating of 5.9.
Procesor is 7.6
Ram is 7.08
GPU is 7.9 for both tests.
Storage is 5.9. I have two SSD's and two HDD's. the OS is one SSD games are another, and Storage + games are the two HDD's.
I recall this rating being 7.6-7.9 before I upgraded to another SSD. Does that mean my SSD is some how broken? (The new one I assume).

Looks like you have both native and third party SATA headers on that board, indicated by four brown and two white headers. The white headers are often ASMedia headers, can't say for sure in this case since it's a board I'm unfamiliar with, generally ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI and ASRock are where my comfort zone is primarily located, but in most cases the third party headers on most boards don't perform with the same speed and consistency as the native headers. Try the underperforming drive on another SATA header or different SATA header color. It's probably best to run drives off the brown headers and your optical drive or nothing off the white ones, or visa versa depending on which are which on your board.

I've ran Trim on them a few times. Says its all going good. I'll check the link you posts as I do not recall and alignment.
They both were 256 when divided by 4096, so I take it that was a yes they are correct?
