My only suggestion would be to experiment with various partitioning,

The drives are not partitioned. I'm using the default chunk size (512K) and the default metadata superblock version (1.2).
My recommendation would be to look into the stripe-cache settings and
check iostat -x 5 output. What is most likely happening is that when
writing to the raid5, it's reading some (to calculate parity most likely)
and not just writing. iostat will confirm if this is indeed the case.
Also, using raid5 for 2TB drives or larger is not recommended, use RAID6
