I've ordered a Seagate Barracuda 250GB SATA drive for installing Vista
Ultimate on next week. Nice model, with 16MB buffer. Hopefully all will go
well with the install!

Will do - great drive.

I paid UKP £55 for the drive. If your stuff's for sale in the US, I expect
shipping alone would be more than that!
Thanks anyway

Hmm, I thought 5.9 is currently a maximum for WEI scores.

interesting.... i found several people questioning their above 5.9 scores.
wonder if 5.9 really is supposed to be a limit and we have found a bug, or
if there IS no 5.9 limit.... my RAID5 SATA drive gets a 5.9.... SCSI Cheetah
gets a 6.1. now i wont sleep! LOL

5.9 is the current maximium value, as comfirmed to me by a Microsoft
employee on IRC.

ss.

perhaps he was wrong... i talk to "microsoft employees" all the time that
have bad info.
im not the only one reporting this oddity. i just need to know the bottom
line... is this a false score or not?
