It feels like there is something fishy going on. Maybe the RAID 10 implementation on the PERC/6e is crap?
Normally, when a SATA implementation is running significantly faster than a SAS one, it's because there's some write cache in the SATA disks turned on (which they usually are unless you go out of your way to disable them). Since all non-battery backed caches need to get turned off for reliable database use, you might want to double-check that on the controller that's driving the SATA disks.
