I bought SSD x25-m G2 like a month ago, I'm using AHCI, windows 7 64x, My SSD WEI score dropped from 7.8 to 7.6. I wanna know is there anything I can do to get WEI score 7.8 again? I tried to use SSD toolbox, reformatted my OS, but it didnt help, my SSD WEI is still 7.6

It is impossible to help without seeing a Crystal score and being told about your system setup. Can you provide some information?

Boot your system into safe mode and then do a crystal Score IN safe mode and get back to me with the results.

WOW. 4K twice as good just like that!!
ok so what does it mean that safe mode makes it go so much better. can i duplicate these results out of safe mode or does it just show my ssd is ok?
what is different in safe mode that changes this and can i turn it off in normal?
thanks!

This simply means that your SSD is A-OK and that your problem exists in the OS installation somewhere.
I have run across this plenty and it usually occurs when someone has cloned the OS when changing to a SSD vice doing a fresh installation. In any case, the problem is in there somewhere. Maybe your mode is not in AHCI, maybe your Buffer Cache is checked..or unchecked.
The good thing we know is the SSD is good and the problem lies in the OS. Personally, I would do a fresh install.
