    Hi,

    I was wondering if anybody knows why when i run the windows performance assessment tool it brings the list up at the end and this is what i get:

    Processor: 6.4
    Memory (RAM): 6.4
    Graphics: 6.8
    Gaming Graphics: 6.8
    Primary Hard Disk: 5.9

    Does anybody know why, when im running a Samsung SSD 256GB drive is the numbers so low??

    Everything else is fine but that?

    Hi,

    If someone here doesn't help, you might try an SSD specific forum like this one: SSD Technology Forum

    I've seen this before and it's common, the windows rating is a very poor way of rating your computer and doesnt always work properly with SSD's. Theres nothing wrong with your SSD or computer.

    Try running a hard drive benchmark like Passmark or HDTune and see if you are getting expected performance from your drive. That will tell you more then the WEI numbers.
