I assume this looks somewhat normal, with a bit of variance due to
access.

I see something similar, around 9ms average latency for HDD based osds,
best case average around 3ms.

Can you let me know which exact model you have?

I tried both of them, even going up to 16MB read ahead cache, but
besides a short burst when changing the values, the average stays +/-
the same on that host.

I also checked cpu speed (same as the rest), io scheduler (using "none"
really drives the disks crazy). What I observed is that the avq value in
atop is lower than on the other servers, which are around 15. This
server is more in the range 1-3.

True, even though pci-e 2, x8 should be able to deliver 4 GB/s, if I am
not mistaken.
