There IS a bug for SATA disk drives in some versions of the Linux

much to my surprise discovered my write speed was 6 MB/sec ... ouch!
On an identical machine, different kernel, the write speed was 54 MB/sec.
My disks are running in SATA150 mode. Whatever it means.
I'm using FreeBSD, and not just because it dynamically alters the
priority of long running processes. :-)
