Hi Guys,

I have XPS with 750GB HDD which is 6 month old. I want to evaluate the performance of this HDD because Windows Experience Index fails on this one since my motherboard is replaced by Dell(same BIOS version).

I have two Windows 7 installed, one at C drive and other at D drive. I manually executed "winsat disk" for all partitions from both operating systems. When I run it from windows installed in C drive, it fails for C drive and passes for D,E,F drives. When I run it from windows installed in D drive, it fails for D drive and passes for C,E,F drives. (Error is related to: Run Assessment disk -scen 2009)

All chkdsk output are fine for all C,D,E,F partitions. Does it mean that I should ignore WEI error?

I am getting new 500GB 512e AF HDD as replacement (my original purchase was 500GB) due to some unrelated issue. I want to continue with 750GB HDD, but this WEI error is confusing me. Should I take the replacement of 500GB HDD or not?
