Yes, and once its set at array creation time it apparently can not be
changed. I deleted the array and created it anew to disable read
caching. This did not yield any perfomance gain by itself. After I
changed the cables I now have 79MB/s (formerly only 29MB/s, a single
disk has a sustained read speed of 71MB/s at the outer sectors). Next
thing will be going back from forced U160 mode to U320. I'll report the
results, so watch this space :-)
