no amount of playing with cp will fix a drive FW issue. but as
pointed out the slower rsync will tax the FW less. Looking at

device    r/s    w/s   kr/s   kw/s wait actv  svc_t  %w  %b s/w h/w trn tot  us 
sy wt id
sd0       0.0    0.0    0.0    0.0 35.0  0.0    0.0 100   0   0   0   0   0

it seems the disk still has requests queued but not
active, so the

echo "set sata:sata_max_queue_depth = 0x1" >> /etc/system

didn't work.. (perhaps running bits older than snv_74?)

so lets try the older

echo "set sata:sata_func_enable = 0x7" >> /etc/system

but of cource fixing the drive FW is the answer.
