[Solved] Intel x25-M G1 (Firmware updated) Windows Index Scores

Hey I had a question, my Intel SSD performs great and I have absolutely no problem with it's performance other than the slightly lower than advertised read speeds. My question is, my Windows Experience Index scores are low for a SSD. My SSD only gets a score of 5.9 in the index. Here's a picture of the HDTune so you can see exactly the read thoroughput and the windows experience tab. This has just been eating away at me as of late. Any suggestions? Is it the only 70 MB/s write speed? That's still hella fast tho.

Maybe its both testing speed and looking at the capacity of the drive. While the speeds should be very high, the capacity is somewhat limited and maybe thats why the score isn't higher. But i must admit i don't know what MS bases their numbers on.

Do you also have the 80GB version cjl?

and why do we care about windows BS performance figures?

Partially because Win7 has SSD optimizations, but in order for them to be on, it must detect the drive as being an SSD.

I think it might be based on the amount of free disk space left on the drive.

My G1 gets 7.2.

Check the BIOS. You DO have ACHI (not IDE) selected, right?

When I ran WEI for the first time after getting my SSD (x25-m g2 80G) I had a score of 7.3 on the Primary Disk. I used the puter for a week, ran TRIM, ran WEI again, and my score dropped to the same 5.9 your seeing. I know TRIM makes the real world perf better, but I think it hoses your WEI. W/E. Scru M$. Like they know d!ck about performance.
