Windows Rating

How do i get my last score to be a bit higher?? i've got a 1TB hard drive

5.9 is good for a hard drive, however an SSD would get you up to full marks. Since it only goes by the primary HDD, you could get a 30GB SSD to install windows on, and use the 1TB as a secondary drive to store all your data on.

kk, and is 7.5 for the others good?

i think 7.5 is the highest the rating goes at the moment.

Getting a Hybrid would do the same as getting an SSD and would cost less, however the rating of 5.9 is a good rating, as it's very rare that you see 7.5 on a machine that's not a server.

My SSD only got my rating to 6.9.

Also, the rating is out of 7.9.

all my ratings using to be top 5.9, until stupid microsoft moved the rating up

Jealy is correct; it tops out at 7.9. 5.9 is a low end score for a HDD. For example, a 4-5 year old 16MB cache HDD should be in that range +-.1.

But you also must remember that the WEI ratings mean virtually nothing.

If you are that concerned, run http://alex-is.de/PHP/fusion/downloads.php?cat_id=4 (preferably the sequential and access time tests) and http://www.attotech.com/products/product.php?sku=Disk_Benchmark and post the screenshots here. Also, post your drive information like make and model.
