Why? Well, lets assume you are using 4x full-speed SATA II ports here, for a total bit rate of 12Gbps, or 1.5GBps. Yet your burst speeds are showing in excess of 3GBps! That's over *twice* the maximum, theoretical bandwidth (which you will never hit).

Clearly there's something else going on here. You said you set this up in Windows... I'm almost wondering if the burst speed is coming from caching data to RAM, because it's *not* coming from your hard drives.

With that said, the rest also comes under suspicion...

I'm surprised you didn't notice that your burst numbers - being more than 10x what you should see with one drive - were at least somewhat suspicious.
His numbers are bogus and this has been discussed before here. The above mentioned benchmarks do not reflect real life performance due to different read patterns etc, and matrix raid seems to really throw things off in them. Really hd benchmarks are useless for the most part. Test on real applications as thats the only valid result data.
