The average service time of 32 .. 38 milliseconds is quite high,
but it seems this is due to the use of NCQ on AHCI; there are
more than five commands active in the drive(r) at a time.
And there's almost no waiting (2.5 - 3 milliseconds).
On my amd64 x2 box and nvidia chipset sata controller (nv_sata)
there is no NCQ support, and the the results look quite different
(Windows xp H2testw read -- Solaris / ZFS / samba):
