It's a pretty powerful machine with plenty of RAM, no other activity.
As for the disparity in initial throughput between the master/slave drives,
you could try reversing the two drives (swap them on the cable if using
"cable select", otherwise rejumper the master/slave setup). Then see if
the
slow start follows the specific drive to its new position on the cable,
or if the master ("a") drive is always slower.
Yes, "reversing" the drives makes the master slower (at least initially).
Controller's "feature"?
