Windows Experience Index still low for Hard Disk with New SSD

2

1

My Windows Experience Index (Windows 7 64 bit) is still a 5.9 for Hard Disk - the same that it was with my 7200 rpm Hard Disk - although now I have a 160GB Intel 320 series SSD... See the image below as well.

Any ideas what my issue is here? I am using "iastor" as my AHCI driver, and everything is aligned ok (according to AS SSD)... I'm clueless why its still so low...

2To rule out a trivial case: You updated the values by clicking Re-run the assessment, right? – Dennis – 2011-12-03T18:57:57.767

@Dennis Yes sir! haha. – Shackrock – 2011-12-03T21:10:21.657

What are you seeing as the sustained read/write speeds of the drive? – steampowered – 2011-12-03T22:56:32.153

@steampowered it feels really fast, I mean it's definately faster than the old drive - no question... how can I check the sustained speeds? – Shackrock – 2011-12-03T23:30:28.120

If you are using Windows Vista, 5.9 is the highest score.
