I had an HP Box run IO numbers like that when its array ( a j-box) was failing.
I'm sure drive failure is not your problem.... From the looks of it, I'd look a little further away from the system... maybe at...... DB Indexing. DB Indexing combined with a critical amount of data indexed can cause the system to load down during read ops. I bet your db server does not automatically clean indexes. See if you can rebuild the indexes...or better yet, mount another drive and move the dbfiles and indexes to that drive.
