WEI Random Read score

[Tripredacus]

Is it at all possible that, at some point during the test, it is reading from the Cache or from memory instead of the physical disk? That would explain a speed increase at least.

I moved all these posts out of the WEI topic.

I have no idea left. I updated the BIOS, changed the cable, flashed the Samsung Firmware, installed the latest AHCI driver (1.2.1.197 from Catalyst 10.7).

When I run the WinSAT command from comandline and redirect the output, the values are lower.

I think this is a bug in WinSAT. I'll ignore it now.

the issue is now gone. When I now run WinSAT the highest value is 5.9 again. Maybe an update fixed it.
