Disable the secondary node temporarily and run some basic throughput and latency tests on the primary node. For throughput: dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/4GBtestfile bs=512M count=8 oflag=direct ...and for latency: dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/testfile bs=512 count=100000 oflag=direct It's a good idea to run them a couple of times each and average the results. You'll likely find that the disks are the bottleneck, but we'll see after you perform the tests. If you don't already have it, write-cache (battery-backed of course) is a great cost-effective way to increase I/O performance.
