Drivers up to date?
Older SSD?
Brand/model?
Still pretty solid numbers.

Disabling the page file is a great way to break a lot of programs with hardly documented error codes, sometimes nothing at all. On machines with plenty of ram, you could give them a meg and the program would run just fine.
Also, 7.6 is about what I get with a single Samsung 840 pro on windows 7. Seems about right, to be honest. Wouldn't let it bother you much, those numbers don't mean much.

A few months ago, I did a minor refresh of my home machine just before updating to Win10. Maxed out the RAM at 16 GB and installed a new 240 GB SSD as the boot drive.
As I'm limited to 16 GB of memory as a function of the motherboard, and I tend to have a lot of stuff open, the page file gets a workout- no way around that. But since I had my old 120 GB SSD, formerly the boot drive, now just sort of lying around surplus, I decided to do an experiment. I put that drive back into the system, declared it to be drive P, and moved the page file (set to 32 GB) to it, with nothing else.
This was done mostly because I wanted to avoid putting a lot of write cycles on the new drive (I'm still a tad superstitious about that), although it also has the theoretical benefit of allowing writes to occur simultaneously on the OS drive and the page file.
I can't think of any way to conduct an A/B test to gauge whatever performance gain or loss is realized by doing this (the new SSD has somewhat faster ratings than the old one), so it's not the most conclusive test in the world, but I'm pleased with the performance, and no longer fret about the workload I'm putting on the shiny new drive.

but i also know that it's silly to download questionably sourced benchmarking apps no matter how legit toms hardware says they might be.
