-t 20 is not enough to give repeatable results. Try something like -t 1000.
The speed of pgbench in that configuration (scaling factor 50, fsync
enabled) is limited by the speed you can fsync the WAL. There isn't much
you can do in postgresql.conf for that. If you get similar results with
higher -t setting, it may be because your new RAID and drives have
slightly higher latency.
You're better off testing with real queries with your real database.
