occasionally I saw ~ 65M which is more or less close to the native speed
I determined via 'mkfile 2g xx' (70 .. 75 MB/s). Drives are:
Vendor: SEAGATE  Product: ST914602SSUN146G Revision: 0400 Serial No: 073993G5LA
Size: 146.81GB <146810536448 bytes>

If more details are neccessary, I would do the ordeal again ...
