I have a no-name server with a 3-ware SATA RAID controller and two gigabit ethernet interfaces. Between two servers on the same gigabit LAN, using default 1500-byte MTU, copying between disks, I can push 200 mbit. Just testing UDP with iperf I can easily hit 400 mbit. Gigabit should sustain 600 mbit. If you're seeing 100 mbit, keep investigating.
