Sata III - Sata II issue with Asus K laptop

[CreativeTHC]

Hello,



..I found this laptop(asus k70ic) some weeks ago, and now I finally got some cash and bought an SSD(MX100) 128GB. I installed the windows on it, w7 ultimate.I ghet the WEI score of an only 5,9. With his old HDD it was also 5.2. I wonder why.

I´ve read that I should note care much about WEI score numbers.. but I have this BUT why so low.



The problem it seems to be with the writing, the reads are ok, as you can see in the SSD. I had a Samsung evo on an another asus laptop and everything worked well. Thing is that, Samsung have frimware update for their SSD´s, now is it me or there are not updates for MX100. I´ve been looking on to their site but seems like this SSD in particular have not updates which is really odd to me.



On UserBenckmark, it says something like, ( The boot partition is located on a SATA 3.0 SSD but it's only operating at SATA 2.0 speeds. If this system has a SATA 3.0 port then plugging the boot drive into it will improve system performance. )

I also been looking around but couldn´t find anything that help me, so I decided now to post it here, maybe some more experienced poeple can help me. I would really really apreciate your time.

Are those speeds normal?!

1. The overall WEI score is the score of the lowest device. GPU, CPU, whatever.

2. That looks very much like SATA speed for that SSD.

EDIT: That should say "SATA II" above.

So you´re saying that that is normal to work on a laptop? I´ve seen this SSD with speeds write of 150, at least is what their specs say.
