Could you all explain why he says that the bottom numbers show the speeds at operating system level. Why is it that the operating system runs the SSD at that transfer speed instead of what it's capable of?

that's as fast as the computer bus can transfer data
i.e., anything faster than that is not a big deal until the computers can catch up   :P
that isn't strictly true if you have a RAID card that can take advantage of some of the bandwidth
this applies to redundant RAID configurations only
