[Solved] 80GB Postville - Weak Windows 7 Experience Index

Hello,

I use the Intel Postville 80GB SSD in a Dell Precision M4400 Laptop with Core2Duo T9600.

The "old" Samsung HDD had an Experience Index of 5.8.

The "new" Intel SSD an Experience Index of 5.9.

The AS SSD Benchmark results are fine with the SSD.

Where ist the Problem?

Best regards

marco

Try to switch off the Antivirus program, torrent and any other programs what you are running in the background + "Enable write Caching".

Don`t forget to update your AS SSD. The newest version is: 1.4.3645.356.

Hello,

turning off the antivirus (avira) doesn't make any differences.

Here are the details of the Windows Experience Index:

Have you enabled AHCI in the BIOS?

Have you enabled the "enable write caching" in the Device Manager?

If you run the latest AS SSD it can tell you is the Offset/Alignment correct on the left side just under the msahci, above the SSD size. It should show 103424 K - OK.

Yes, AHCI in enabled in Bios and the MSahci drivers are installed.

"enable write caching" is enabled too. (standard value)

The offset/alignment is ok.

Any good advice?
