Windows 7 Low Hard Drive Experience Score

[mp3sgt]

I have a 250GB SATA 3GB/s Western Digital HD with 2 partitions, one of 30GB for 7 and the rest for my XP install. I have used HD tune to verify data transfer rates in the mid 75MB/s area at all times and yet, on the experience rating in Windows 7, it lists the HD experience as a lowly 2. Is this a bug, because I have more than 10GB free on my 7 partition, or does 7 not like partitions?

Also, I'm using my XP right now, but my other experience scores hover around 5-6.

I had 5.6 hard drive transfer rating in Vista and 3 in win 7.Got a better hard drive in the mail which I will install vista on.

Here is my Windows 7 Experience score for 2 x Patriot SSD WARP SSDs in RAID0.

As you can see by the HDTune scores below. They simply can't hang with 3 x Velociraptors in RAID0, but they're Response Time, Windows 7 Score, and 150MBs average Read/Write is very nice, especially for their more affordable price ($150 each).
