Your hdtune post shows that the cpu usage was 23% at the time of the benchmark.
That means that their is something running in the background eating at your systems power.
Shut off any background processes through MSCONFIG or taskmanager, and run the benchmark again. That should speed the drive up, and it should get rid of all of the peaks you are getting.
