you write to file not device, so it will be clustered anyway by FreeBSD.

128kB by default, more if you put options MAXPHYS=... in kernel config and 
recompile.

Even with hard drive write cache disabled, it should about one write 
per revolution but seems to do 4 writes per second.

so probably it is not that but much worse failure.

Did you rest read speed?

dd if=/dev/disk of=/dev/null bs=512

dd if=/dev/disk of=/dev/null bs=4k

dd if=/dev/disk of=/dev/null bs=128k

?
