Some think it's AHCI or not, others note BIOS, and more talk about BIOS, drivers and the Intel app.
Then again, there are folk that try to transplant in another motherboard without all the OS install, and long slog (slugfest?) with drivers and APPS!!!! that I begin to think Windows is indeed on its last days.

I was running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on Gigabyte GA-MA785GPMT-UD2H (Socket M2) mobo and was getting a 7.6 score on my recently purchased Seagate ST1000DM 003-1ER162 SATA Disk Device (SATA).
Upgraded my system 2 weeks ago with Gigabyte 970A-UD3P (CPU 1) mobo and score is now 5.9
Any ideas on how to bring this score up?
Thanks in advance -
