Not a big deal, more curious than anything... the Windows 7 Experience Index scores.
I have a PC (specs in my signature) and everything gets 7.x, except the hard drive. For some reason it's a low 5 (5.1 or 5.2) but, it's a fairly new motherboard, and a Samsung SSD drive. May not be the fastest drive out there, but, would have expected to see it ranked a lot better in the WEI.
Now, I don't really care about the WEI... but it did make me wonder if my drive wasn't set up to be as fast as it could be. I was hoping to find the link I used a year ago, but, I did follow a highly recommended how-to for setting up the SSD (disable hibernation, turn off defrag, etc).
Is there a good current how-to I can recheck with?
Is there a recommended benchmark app I can use to test with?
System seems fine, but that low WEI score has me wanting to double check to make certain.
Currently I have the Samsung SSD as a C:\ drive, it has the O/S on it and my programs (Adobe CS6, World of Warcraft, etc) and I have a 1TB secondary that's setup for the My Docs, My Downloads, My Pictures, etc... apps on the SSD, storage on the HDD.
