[VN Boards Archive]
Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Hello everyone,

I ran the Windows Experience test and received the following scores:

7.5
7.8
7.9
7.9
5.9


As you can see, something isn't right. I would not think the disk data transfer rate should be this low!

I installed:

1TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697 )

Asrock P67 Extreme4 Gen 3 mobo with SATA 6gb/sec ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157265)


and I connected it with:

Sata 6gb/sec Cable ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812123111 )



Anyone have any ideas why I am getting such a low rating?

If I recall correctly, no hard drives rate faster than a 5.9 on that index. 5.9 is the cap.

Nope, def not the cap. Well known that this particular drive only scores a 5.9 though (looking at the newegg reviews.)

I don't think that is bad, but I use an SSD.

Majority of hard drives get 5.9 on that. Want higher - get an SSD

And who actually worries about the WEP crap?
