Are you using SEAGate drives? They have shown issues on lags of up to 30 seconds, which will drop an overall speed report.
This might be true of consumer-grade drives, but I haven't seen or experienced in enterprise-class drives.
Actually, the firmware-bug that Seagate finally admitted to earlier this year, also affected Barracuda ES.2 drives (only SATA models though), which they classify as a enterprise product. On the consumer side, it hit several Barracuda 7200 and Maxtor DiamondMax22 models. Some reports was that the drives 'paused' on contiguous reads, others where suddenly not detected by bios, and hence 'bricked'. I have had 2 out of 3 of those drives, which where bricked due to the firmware-bug.
