try to set the sync rate more into the range you actually
expect from your hardware, maybe that helps.

and just check the obvious:

what does hdparm say about your disks?
dma enabled?
hdparm -t -T /dev/whatever ?

hackish benchmark for poor people:
right# netcat -l -p 7777 | time dd of=/dev/somewhere bs=4k count=1234567 ; time sync
 left# dd if=/dev/whatever bs=4k count=1234567 | netcat right 7777

is anything else accessing (seeking on) the physical disk?

etc.

cheers,
