Doesn't it look like both the Raid-0'd 7K1000 and the Raptors are both being limited by the raid controller or something outside of the drives? The benchies are nearly identical except that the raptor pulls out ahead just a little in practically every one. I'm thinking that the raptors should be beating the pants off a 7200rpm drive, despite NCQ and whatnot. Am I missing something or alone in this thought?
