SSD Windows rating
I just purchased a new laptop.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146613
and added a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220457 in hopes of getting better performance. I ran the Windows experience and only received a 5.9 in storage. I was curious if they rate this on size of drive and speed or if I did something wrong. The comp is very responsive but just wondered about the rating. I am assuming now that the laptop only has a Sata I connection. Thoughts?

Install Windows from scratch (if you are using Win 7) and let it create the partition.
Be sure that your BIOS is set to IDE mode, not AHCI, as HDDE will be unable to see your SSD without this.
I have another solution if this doesn't fix the issue.
I don't like HDDerase, it doesn't run on some boards.
If it is an Indilinx drive, just use Sanitary erase (you can find it at the OCZ forums if Patriot didn't post it)
As one final step, can you run a post a screenshot of CrystalDiskMark?
Gotta love marketing! I will run it tonight.
MB per second:
IDE
Fastest write: 155464
Fastest read: 202221
AHCI
Fastest write: 155464
Fastest Read: 229432
Passmark rates the sequential read and write times around 106 and 135 MB/s respectively.
Yet, windows still rates my disk a 5.9 :shakehead
Any guesses?
