When I first bought my G750 JH in October I ran a disk benchmark and it did just over 1 GB/s sequential read and I thought that was pretty amazing. But over time I have periodically run the benchmark and noticed gradually falling scores. Here is the result of today's CrystalDiskMark:
So, I am asking the vast amounts of computing knowledge represented by this forum, how do I get back those lost MB/s? Is there anything else you notice that is off with the posted scores? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You don't mention if you manually run TRIM, or have a schedule set up to run it on a regular basis...
If you haven't run TRIM, do it now on the SSD partitions, then reboot and re-run CrystalDiskMark.
Check to make sure Optimize see's the SSD as an SSD, and not a HD.
If Windows thinks the SSD is an HD, run a cmd shell window as Administrator, and run this:
winsat formal <== let it finish, then reboot
Then run optimize now that the SSD shows up as an SSD.
Let us know how that works out 🙂
Thanks for the quick response. I have windows set up to run TRIM on a weekly basis. And windows has already recognized it as an SSD.
I did manually run TRIM and reboot and the numbers improved slightly but not to where they were.

Two things to try. Get a real defrag / optimization program and let it loose on the SSD RAID0 🙂
It will add GB to throughput counter, but it worked for me.
Next best, better but more of a pain, back up your stuff and break the RAID0 and remake it from the BIOS. Then use your Asus Backtracker USB 3.0 recovery flash drive to restore to the new RAID0. I got back all my performance that way 🙂

Cool, good to know for when I eventually start replacing my mechanical drives with SSD's.
I hadn't reinstalled PerfectDisk since switching back to the RAID0 boot from the Samsung 840 Pro 512GB, so I checked and my performance had dropped to 875MB/520MB (sorry, didn't screenshot the results).
I installed my licensed copy of Raxco PerfectDisk, took the default config it came up with, and optimized the RAID0 using SmartPlacement Classic, the C drive, followed up with a boot defrag, and ran CrystalDiskMark, and now I am back to 1025MB/598MB
how did you get such good score? I have same defrag software as you 😉 and i did everything you did, including boot files, and i get a slower read, or is your SSD just faster one? lol If it is then ok, otherwise i want it fixed XD

HomieOC, you have a 2 x128GB RAID0, right? But it looks like you left your default partitioning, I combined partition's so I can have more contiguous space. IDK if that is the only thing that makes my score higher, but you can give it a try. My C partition comes out at 237GB now, and yours is at 96GB.
My D drive is now my Samsung Pro 840 512GB, here is it's score for comparison:
And, here is the drive make/model info, to compare against your 128GB model numbers
