Can't you just use "hdparm" for instance, to make the
disks run faster? At least for Linux, dunno about
NetBSD. Maybe this is what they have done, sneaky. 

I think you could be able to improve speeds by 2 times
by setting the right parameters for hdparm. Be aware
of what you do though, if trying it, cause you could
mess up completely.

I have never tried hdparm myself, but I have heard it
is wicked. So I am thinking of trying it for NetBSD if
it exists. Does anyone know?
