The performance will be vastly different if there is enough RAM to hold the working set of inodes and page cache (~20GB all up), and that could be one of the factors contributing to the problems. The above xfs_info output is from your 160GB SSD - what's the output from the 1TB device? Also, what phase do you see it hanging in? the random stat phase is terribly slow on spinning disks, so if I can avoid that it woul dbe nice....
