Hi guys,

Had my setup for about 5 months. My ssd is an intel value 40gb one.

When I first ran experience index, I got 7.3 for my ssd. I decided to run it again for funsies, and I got 5.9 on the HD :eek:

Now, I know that experience index is hardly the best thing to use, but surely this means that my drive has decreased in performance somehow? I tried using intel ssd toolbox to optimise it, but that hasn't changed the score.

any ideas?

Thanks :)
 
I'd advise leaving your PC on the logon screen for a while to let TRIM do its thing.
Mine went from 6.8 back up to 7.5 after doing this.

Also, its weird that your WEI has gone as low as 5.9, thats almost as though Windows now thinks its a mechanical drive.

I saw something like that with mine a little while ago - re-ran it and it went back up to 7.whatnot.

Try it; see what happens...

Interestingly enough, this has worked. It's now 7.4

I just had to restart the computer and re run the test. Cheers mate :)

RJ, I'll get a cdm score up anyway, just to make sure :)

The first is actually higher than the stated speed for the ssd, the rest aren't looking too amazing.
 
Righty - can't do a screen shot as I'm using an apple keyboard :-0

Results broadly mimic yours (gains in some tests, losses in others):

Seq: Read - 186 Write - 45
512k: Read- 152 Write - 46
4k: Read - 18 Write - 26
4k QD32: Read - 145 Write - 42

Cheers,

Rich
