This is on a SunBlade 2500 running -current. The use_ncq sysctl nodes are
all 1.

When writing to the raw device on the real hard disk:

[/tmp] whoever-brings-the-night # dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=1000 of=/dev/rdk5
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 8.891 secs (117936790 bytes/sec)

When writing to the swap partition on the SSD:

[/tmp] whoever-brings-the-night # dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=1000 of=/dev/rdk2
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 8.587 secs (122112029 bytes/sec)

Both devices have write-back cache enabled (this machine has a UPS).
