Did you try replacing the two IDE cables you have with new 30cm 80 way
ones? IDE can hide marginal cables with CRC-checking and retrying.

What about swapping them, and/or swapping the drives around, then
comparing the transfer rate of /dev/hda and /dev/hdc again?

today since one of my mirrored harddisk (/dev/hda) failed, I removed it from
md-raid1 and now /dev/hdc becomes /dev/hda

hdparm -t /dev/hda gets me ~37MB/s now (before: /dev/hda - 30MB/s,
/dev/hdc - 37MB/s)

maybe there's problem with /dev/hda so it's relatively slower!

However, the result still much slower than kernel 2.4.20 (55MB/s)
