Sorry, I should've probably mention the hardware specs in the first place:

The server is an Intel SR2612UR with 12-drive SAS/SATA backplane with an
Attotech ExpressSAS H608 (PCIe) SAS controller and a single Mini-SAS
SFF-8087 cable between controller and backplane.

Drives are 'WD1002FBYS' (WD RE3 'enterprise' models), 7 of them (6 RAID5
+ 1 spare).

The OS (OpenSuSE 11.4 x86_64) is installed on a separate SATA SSD,
connected to on-board SATA controller. The driver for the controller is
'esas2hba' version 1.65, supplied by Attotech.
