    Over the weekend I wiped this notebook

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=463061

    so I could fix a software bug with the HDMI-in. One remarkable thing about that system was the high SSD RAID transfer speeds. Drives are still in RAID, everything is like it was before, just now HDTune maxes out at 170MB/s. CrystalDiskMark and others still report the high transfer speeds above 480MB/s.

    All drivers are installed from the included driver disc, OS is a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium, and all updates are current.

    What changed?

    To be honest, I do not think that hdtune offers correct feedback on any drives run on in RAID configuration or on a dedicated hardware raid controller for that matter. It reads all of my SCSI/SAS/FB drives wrong. I trust ATTO/Crystalmark for better results. Your harddrive benchmarks could simply be different based on the different versions of hdtune offered. Try V2.55 now, and see if that differs at all from the v4.01
