Considering that 4.7 isn't known to have major, show-stopper bugs in PF like you experience, you may want to consider that there is a bug in some other part of the system like the ethernet driver or some such. If you can try 4.8 snapshots first, and perhaps post your tests, results, and dmesg

This system is definitely too old for AHCI to be a chipset option. You could always add in a cheap SATA card with Silicon Image chip, the sili driver supports NCQ... 1-3MB/sec isn't near the max speed of any of your hardware, and you fail to mention what you are doing while iostat is running
