^^Are u running RAID-1? Me waiting for my raptor to return from RMA :(.

nopes i am running RAID-0 but with 64KB cluster size. i can get approx 130MB/s scores but that requires 4KB cluster size. it is generally recommended to use 64KB thats why i converted them to 64KB recently. the +ve is that the transfer rate is constant throught the disc, which simply owns !

@ karan - y are u using 64kb size. i thought 4kb was better. i always used 4kb in raid 0 as i thought it was better & faster in accessing files which are smaller. not tried 64k yet. let me know the difference.
