Graphics Card Upgrade Win. SAT does not run automatically after a driver or graphics card upgrade or change: This is very difficult to do Would require prompting the user – this kind of prompt is almost always refused Requires UAC Elevation Difficult to time and synchronize with re-boots and 3’d part software installs The solution: We’ve ask IHVs to run Win. SAT as part of their software installation This will work well – process is already elevated, no user prompts necessary, part of natural “flow” of upgrade

Storage Assessment Win. SAT formal disk assessment only measures sequential read performance Sequential read performance is an effective overall indicator of drive performance Random I/O perf is small (1 -3 MB/s) and doesn’t vary much drive to drive Write performance cannot be measured reliably in a short period of time Write buffers policies and drivers can make it difficult as well Sequential Read and Write performance are generally proportional
