Not sure there is anything to see here, but I thought the SSDs should be more consistent. The 2 Samsung SSDs are in a RAID 0 array. They are probably around 5 years old now. I'm posting 2 runs that I did back to back.

@merk : Look at the two runs of the WD drive in the middle. Each of the 5 run-to-run results are identical. That demonstrates that on your hardware (as everywhere else) the benchmark is rock solid... which means that the SSDs really ARE returning differing results. I believe this is due to varying levels of on-the-fly error correction being needed. I think we're going to be able to fix that in the future.
