Performance Scores of your Windows 7 RTM Machines

no...

7200RPM SATA disks produce 5.9
10000RPM SAS disks produce 6.3
15000RPM SAS disks produce 6.7

Not tried SSD though

Thats odd because my 10,000 WD VelociRaptor drive is only scoring 5.9 - my OCZ SSD gets 7.4 though

[nephilim]

is your velociraptor SAS or SATA? as that does make a difference when it comes to non SSD drives

Processor: 7.6
Memory: 7.7

SATA so I guess that makes sense

What would be quite interesting is if people also posted their disk sub-scores (especially if you have an SSD or SAS disk). My SSD gets an overall disk score of 7.7 with the following sub-scores...

Average Throughput
Sequential Read    7.5    253.50583 MB/s, ioSize = 65536, 3,868 IOs/sec
Random Read        7.7    195.28000 MB/s, ioSize = 16384, 11,918 IOs/sec

Responsiveness
Average IO Rate    7.9    0.98000 ms/IO
Grouped IOs        7.3    9.24807 units
Long IOs           7.9    2.49660 units
Overall            7.7    23.08870 units

Cap Passed         FALSE

The sub-scores can be found under "Disk Metrics" in the most recent "Disk.Assessment (Recent).WinSAT.xml" file located in %SystemRoot%\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore. You can also check if the score of your HDD is capped.

If I want to upgrade my hard drive I'm better spending the money on an SSD rather than a velociraptor drive, would you agree?

[nephilim]

by far

[Obzen]

Need an SSD me thinks

Processor: i7 950
RAM: 12GB 1600Mhz Tri
Gfx: ATi 6850
Primary Disk: SSD SATA2

Here is my updated score after a few upgrades.

[chrisbrown]

My new PC
i7 2600 (3.4GHz, 4 cores)
GA-P67A-UD4
6GB RAM
1TB 7200rpm Samsung
ATi HD6870

[mrbios]

Get a 64GB crucial C300 as a boot drive in that beastie chrisbrown boost that hdd score up to 7.9

Curious though, what made you go with a gigabyte board? No UEFI Also don't want to be picky but 6GB of ram a bit of an odd number for a dual channel machine?

[chrisbrown]

mrbios - I was on a fairly strict budget and the UD4 seemed to present the best bang for my buck.
And the disk performance is perfectly acceptable...I'm not *overly* concerned about how this thing scores.
