In most of your results, your CPU usage is very high. Once you get to about

That seems one of the problems with software RAID, the calculations are
done in the CPU and not dedicated hardware. As you move to the top end
drive hardware the CPU gets to be a limit. I don't remember off the top
of my head how threaded this code is, and if more CPUs will help.
I see you are using RAID-1 for your system stuff, did one of the tests
use RAID-0 over all the drives? Mirroring or XOR redundancy help
stability but hurt performance. Was the 270MB/s with RAID-0 or ???
