ST3750528AS HDD

Remember the Windows Exp. Index is not a true benchmark. As far as I know or have ever seen the highest score with a SATA drive is 5.9. SSD's will score higher and maybe a RAID setup with 10k drives.

I bought new studio xps 8100 and choose 750GB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive with Native Command Queuing. I think that the speed of this HDD is 3.0GB/s. But resource monitor shows 100MB/s at 100% highest active time. And windows experience index shows (Disk data tranfer tare) 5.9. Please help me!!!!!!

5.9 is the standard reading given by the so-called Windows Experience index for any 7200rpm hard drive, I have the same 5.9 on all my Vista and Windows 7 systems, even when the processor and memory is rated at 7.5.     :emotion-8:

Hi Alok_Sharma,

No drive is capable of a transfer speed of 3.0GB/sec. This is only a theoretical bus speed. Actual hard drive transfers are going to be on the order of 100MB/sec.

That isn't exaclty right. A friend of mine by the name of Spock had one that did 4

The point is that after a while some of these numbers lose meaning in the real world. As you can see I have the same set up for the most part. If I sat around running benchmark tests I could find a way to be unhappy with the hardware! There is almost always something bigger and badder out there.

The real question is: Does your system do what you need it to do quickly? Mine amazes me all of the time. Sure a 10k or SSD would be faster but as long as I don't have one side by side with my old clunker I'll never know (or care much) about the difference.

I disagree with a lot of Dell's policies and procedures but I love my Dell system.

That's my two cents worth. Your mileage may vary.

That's only with the dilithium crystals at full capacity after a complete level 4 diagnostic of the biointerface memory core.

Anyone knows that. :emotion-4:
