Nope, that's slow dude. My 80GB IDE disk get's about 93.
Nope, your 80GB IDE drive gets 46.8
Your SATA2 Hitachi gets 52.2
And your RAID 0 SATA2 Hitachi drives get 104.7
His average read of 51.8 is respectable

Here is mine:
Western Digital 250GB Cavair SE 16MB cache (WD2500KS) - running in sata1
I'd love to get my hand on another one of these drives and see how it does in raid 0. That would be awesome. Coz those raid scores are really looking good
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
XFX GeForce 7900 GT 256 MB

I notice synidates score seems to have 'maxed' out at 130MB/s. That must be some bottleneck somewhere as the score does not dip at the end like the other scores. What imposed this bottleneck?
EDIT: Ah ok...
It is important to note that an SATA controller can only perform as fast as it's slowest link. In some systems this bottleneck is the PCI bus. Many controllers (even onboard SATA controllers) use the PCI bus, which has a maximum transfer rate of about 130MB/s. To make matters worse, this is shared bandwidth that other PCI devices can use. Thankfully the SATA available on the NF3/4 and some Intel chipsets do not suffer these limitations.

Custom PC put 4 Raptor X in RAID.
The combined cache is 64Mb makes the benchmarking programs believe the drives have a 0ms access time
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

Looks like it's running at sata1 speeds instead of sata2.
What motherboard do you have?

He's got that ABIT Fatal1ty board.
No wait, he's got a DFI board, that 3200 Crossfire board.
That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.

Sunday and bored at home... "oh look! i've found 2 of the same harddrives! sweet! ... damn... 5400rpm ATA100... 40GB..."
funny how the 2 are more than 100% faster than the 1 alone
RAID 0 FTW!
*sigh* oh well
