It does, it's a FujitsuSiemens Server and has ERST-II (LSI Software 
RAID) along with AHCI.

I understand!
The machine lock @3.5MB/s was wrong, sorry. Not the HD was the culprit 
but an intermediate router...
But still there is the problem that ZFS stalls if I use these drives 
with ahci, not with ataahci.

Can you use such a drive? I mean for yourself. If yes, then I'll ship 
it, but if you say "na, thanks, no such crap" then I don't want to waste 
your time and highly appreciated skills to bother with vendor-specific 
problems.
