    Hey guys

    Like the title says I am still getting a 5.9 WEI score after installing the new Samsung SSD drive into my Lenovo y580.

    My original HDD had a score of 5.9 so I am sure something is up. I did a clean install on this SSD and everything seems to be working okay. Still reinstalling all the drivers and such. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    I get 7.9 on my 830 256GB with my Z580 so you should be getting better than 5.9

    7.9 on my Samsung 830 128GB SSD. Are you sure that you installed the OS on the SSD or do you now have one large SSD cache?
