What exactly is test.cdrom on?  A single disk?  If so, then your first
result is definitely bogus.  The maximum bandwidth of a single SAS link
is 300 MB/s, so it looks like the kernel is either caching the write or
has timing issues.  For a direct to platter speed, the data sheet for
your drive gives 55-89MB/s, so I'd say 81.8 is well within the range.
