Windows Index score with OCZ Vertex 2E

[Jock]

Hi there, i happened to come across the part of the computer that tells you the windoes experience index and gives certain elements a score. Weird thing is though is that everything has a score of 7.8-7.9 though the hard drive comes out with a low score of 5.4.

Its a brand new rig built by ocuk and the primar drive is a SSD - OCZ Vertex2E Bigfoot 120gb and has loads of space left on it.

I had thought the score would be much higher than my last one which didnt have a ssd but its far lower. Is this something i should be worried about, meaning theres a problem somwehere?

Cheers bud

I'll give that tool a go and see what it comes back with.

Mine gets 7.7, the only things I can think of is that you:

a) have done loads of benchmarking without letting the drive recover (leave your machine logged off overnight or something)
b) re-installed Windows without doing a secure erase first
c) aren't using AHCI
d) aren't using RST drivers with an Intel chipset

Havent done any benchmarking.
Havent reisntalled windows or nothing, its exactly as it was when ocuk shipped it as far as drivers and settings. Nothings been changed.

Just checked its, 5.9 not 5.4 though thats bad enough by the sounds of it.

Would it make a difference if the computer has been rendering for the past 3 days solid. I wouldnt have thought so but you guys know more than me.
