I also have a Seagate 320GB 7200RPM 3.0gpbs and it now has a performance factor of 3.0 where it used to be 5.x before. My other hardware seems to be rated about the same.Just wondering what other machines are like for hard drive performance. I have two machines, one running a Seagate 320 GB 7200 RPM drive, the other with a Seagate 500, 7200 RPM drive. The performance index shows them as 2.9 and 3.0, respectively. In Vista, they were both 5.7 and 5.9, respectively.
I'm wondering if this is related to chipset driver optimization...something else...any thoughts?
Under your "Disk drives" in device manager, right click your hard drive and click "properties."
On the "Policies" tab, uncheck "Enable write caching on the device"
Click "OK" and then run WEI again
my score went from 2.9 - 5.5
afterwards, just turn it back on
