Comment 1 for bug 912458

Let me slightly correct myself. I went one last time and checked how each drive was hooked in. On this motherboard, there are 8 SATA ports, 4 are 3G and 4 are 6G. While both of my drives were hooked to the 6G side (with 6G cables), they weren't in the -same two- that the other machines were hooked into. For kicks, I moved these drives to the exact same two ports as the other machines, and lo-and-behold, the benchmark completed successfully, with results matching the other 3 machines.

So I guess the problem statement is why the specific port matters.

Thanks!
