Damn that is pitiful marks although I don't trust SiSoft. Check and see if there are newer/better drivers from Nvidia/ASUS and you might try a new cable and or switching ports. Make sure the WD HD jumper is removed if it is a stand alone Master drive

what program do you use if you don't trust SiSoft?
thanks i will try a new cable and check the jumper
