the second graph looks like it was run against the system drive (C-Drive) and so its not exactly an ideal benchmark since the O/S is hitting the drive while the benchmark is running. a cleaner benchmark is obviously to run the benchmark against a drive configured as a secondary drive, and even better with no partition so the O/S is ignoring it completely.
neither of the drives are exactly standouts for gaming performance, especially with SSD's being the high watermark for gaming these days, but the higher performing drive is obviously in the first bench.
