Ahhh, I`m so sorry you didn`t like my reply

I guess you didn`t read the others, LOL

Since you seem to care about WEI so much, what if you went and bought a 970 and the score didn`t change at all, would that make you upset

Not in the least because it's useless. Many other benchmarks for disks that give helluva more details and are more accurate. Still only measuring in real work that can give you right idea. I have seen fast SSDs, fast in the benchmark but dragging their a**es during some backup or scan in normal uses because of some system anomaly.

Exactly

Thank you all for your constructive comments - getting too deep for me
I just wanted a simple record of my PC that I could as a basemark
I am pulling out of any further discussion on this topic
but much appreciated

Back in the days of Vista I seem to recall that you had to run the experience thingy after clean installing and after installing drivers and so on. If you didn't then things like Aero were not available. It is because of that, that I still always run the assessment on W10 clean installs.

It used it to set Personal experience in Vista.

Stormforce, the 950 is getting old. I don`t know which one you have, but compare its advertised speed to the advertised speed of the 970 512GB

thanks all for your comments - accept that there is a 960 and 970 available now
cannot accept "Its only numbers" from AddRam - I like numbers

It is only numbers, and useless ones at that. The WEI has never been a benchmark tool. There's a reason it's been removed. As mentioned, use the Samsung tool to benchmark the drive to see what your actual performance is, ie. numbers that matter.
