Crystal Disk Mark drunk or am I stupid?

[Messinian]

So I just finished setting up a raid 0 array of 2 1tb WD black drives. I decided to run crystal disk mark to see if it was anywhere near the speed of my SSD which is a 240gb intel 730 series. anyways I ran the test and was amazed at the results. the raid 0 array was putting down faster sequential write speeds, and by almost 100MB/s! the read speeds were only about 30mb/s slower too! Is this only because the raid 0 array has nothing on it and are brand new drives? I know drives slow down as they gain data but by how much? Click here to see benchmark results
Thanks

I think you benchmarked the wrong thing. You benchmarked your C drive witch is 223GB in size and your raid 0 setup should be 2tb

I benchmarked both, theres 2 images in the link at the top of the imgur image it says "image 1" "image 2" but the c drive is a intel 730 series and the A drive is the raid array. the raid array has massive write speeds and good read speeds
