I just finished setting up my machine with 2 300g Velociraptors in Raid 0. I used a program call Disk Bench. It can be found here.
I'm really up on what the standard speed should be, but take a look at the results and form your own opinion. I think it's pretty fast.
Here is a cut and paste from the program:
Starting Create File Bench...
Created file: C:\Users\Huntrik\Desktop\DiskBench1.bin
Size: 1048576000 bytes
Time: 3361 ms
Transfer Rate: 297.530 MB/s
Create File Bench ended
That was with a block size of 2mb*500 blocks = 1gb
