| 1145713 | 2010-10-17 21:43:00 | Hi Team, I've recently built a PC for my bro in-law. It has a Win7 Rating of 5.9. The 5.9 is relating to the current WD SATA Black Edition hard drive. All the other components ratings are high 7's. What performance hard drives do you suggest I get to increase this rating? The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H and can support SATA 6Gb/s drives. Cheers. :thumbs: |

| 1145714 | 2010-10-17 21:47:00 | Probably an SSD. Looks like most hdds are 5.9 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1145715 | 2010-10-18 06:57:00 | Get a Vertex 2 with sandforce controller, apparently its the shiz, I'm looking at getting one myself... | Deimos (5715) | ||
| 1145716 | 2010-10-18 07:23:00 | Hard drives top out at 5.9 on Windows 7. The only way to get a higher score is by going for a (not very cheap) SSD. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1145717 | 2010-10-18 19:08:00 | I get 7.1 for my Sandforce SSD, however its only on a lappy! | SolMiester (139) | ||

| 1145719 | 2010-10-18 22:33:00 | That drive's already a performance drive, unless you're taking VelociRaptors into account. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 1145720 | 2010-10-19 00:16:00 | It's the graphics that are bringing my Win7 PC down, a GTX260. :D Think the SSD is 7 or 7.1. |

| 1145721 | 2010-10-19 00:41:00 | I even get a 5.9 with a velociraptor, SSD baby! | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1145722 | 2010-10-19 03:07:00 | Cheers for all feedback. 5.9 it is then!... He can't afford an SSD at the moment. Had to sell his guitar to get funds for this PC..... |
