Cavair black drives tend to be faulty. There have been lots of problems with them. Do a drive diagnostic on it if possible.

All 7200 rpm hd's get 5.9 in windows 7

I have 2 x western digital aaks 640 gigs in raid 0 that are rated at 5.9, even though they get almost 200 average mb/s transfer in HD Tune

Don't base your hardware decisions on windows 7 experience index

I always recommend running the dos cd version but you'll have to burn the iso image to a cd and then boot to it. They also have a windows version on that page as well.

I've never gotten better than 5.9 in that rating with any drive. I haven't tried SSDs though...

 

[linkin]

SSD's score a full 7.9 i think. depends on the drive

No traditional drive be it 5400rpm, 7200rpm or 10000rpm will score over 5.9, even in RAID.

Making lots of noise is never a good thing. I wouldn't rely on that drive.

Did you actually run the short and long tests or did you just see that the smart test passed?

i just see that the smart test passed

 

[johnb35]

You need to run the short and long tests. The smart status can still pass if the drive has errors on it or has other issues.
