Sorry ... pressed the wrong key and sent the unfinished email ...

Hi,
I've built a new machine with Intel Desktop Board DQ35JO, Intel E2160 CPU, and 8 x Seagate ST3500320AS 500MB SATA harddisks. 6 of the 8 harddisks are connected to the motherboard's SATA ports, while the remaining 2 are connected to a 2 ports PCI-E card with sil24.

kernel is 2.6.24.5, have tried fedora kernel 2.6.23.1-42 and 2.6.24.4-64, all give the same result.

sda,b,c .... to sdf are running ahci driver, sdg and sdh are running sil24 driver

hdparm -t /dev/sd{a-f} give around 45-46MB/sec
[root@localhost log]# hdparm -t /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing buffered disk reads:  140 MB in  3.02 seconds =  46.42 MB/sec

hdparm -t /dev/sdg and sdh give over 105MB/sec
[root@localhost log]# hdparm -t /dev/sdg
/dev/sdg:
Timing buffered disk reads:  316 MB in  3.01 seconds = 105.13 MB/sec

had updated to latest BIOS, no change in hdparm test b4/after update.
hdparm -i:
