    Did you to a image copy or a clean install? If the former than you need to rerun the test.
    PS Ha! From Chuck Norris!

    It always takes WEI time to recognize and properly score new components, particularly SSD's. It will jump to 7.7+/- after a few runs. Or you can wipe out all the prior WEI scores and do a fresh run which will reflect the proper score.

    Good deal. Enjoy your new SSD. As you have no doubt noticed, the increased speed and responsiveness is astounding. Like a whole new computer.
