By the way, I tried with the same disk (WD Caviar Black) (not the same
size though) on Solaris 11:

                    extended device statistics
    r/s    w/s   kr/s   kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t  %w  %b device
 1104.5    0.0 141371.6    0.0  0.0  0.9    0.0    0.9   1  95 c5t5d0
                    extended device statistics
    r/s    w/s   kr/s   kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t  %w  %b device
 1101.7    0.0 141014.0    0.0  0.0  0.9    0.0    0.9   1  95 c5t5d0

It can reach 140 MB/s!

Ok, I didn't know ZFS v28 was MFC'd to RELENG_8.  By the way, I see you
switched to the new ata(4) driver according to your device names.  Is it
painless to upgrade?  I'll give it a try this evening hopefully.

Thanks.
