The U320 SCSI controller has a 64 bit PCI-X bus for itself, there is no other

                 Status: Bus=2 Dev=4 Func=0 64bit+ 133MHz+ SCD- USC-, DC=simple,

the "133MHz+" is a good sign.  OTOH the latency (72) seems rather low - my
understanding is that that would noticably limit the size of burst transfers.

I have tried with 128 and 144, but the transfer rate is only a little
bit higher barely measurable. Or what values should I try?

you're obviously saturating something already with 2 disks.  did you play
with "blockdev --setra" setings?

Yes, I did play a little bit with it but this only changed read performance,
it made no measurable difference when writting.

Thanks,
