W7 score is 5.9 with SSD 850 256gb pro. Why?

[aicher00]

Hello,

SSD Samsung 850 pro 256gb
MOBO Asus P8P67 EVO
Win7 Home Premium x64

HDD tune test here -> http://imgur.com/a/GygI1

Windows primary disk rating gives me 5.9 and I don't know why.
Any hint?

Thank you.

do you have a hdd attached as well? If there are 2 drives it will take the speed from the slowest drive

My original WEI for my primary HDD was 7.9 with my SSD, but when I went to look again, it said as omega21xx mentioned "your hardware has changed, please run the asessment again" and I got a 5.9 like above.

The upon looking around it turns out to be that 5.9 is the max rating for a disk drive, and it was measuring my barracuda. The problem is that it appears the WEI for your primary HDD is not your boot drive but is taken from the registry, the programfilesdir (or the x86 version) and as a result when you edit that field to install all your programs it lowers your score.

The only real confirmation I have for that is when I changed it back to C:/ my score went back to 7.9.
