hdparm -t reports 35 MB/s. this is nowhere near the 100MB/s that i'm

Why are you expecting 100MB/s? That's the bus maximum bandwidth.
It doesn't mean you can physically read data off the disk platter
that fast.
(5 years ago I was happy to get 7 MB/s of a disk.)

i have similar ibm drives which use udma/66 and i get 17.88 MB/sec. so i
think your drives are working pretty damn good which are more than
double that.
