Hi!

It has something to do with the drive. I've just connected my external drive 
to the Intel controller and copied some GB of data around without performance 
impacts! So my new WDC drive works on both the JMicron and the Intel 
controller.

Now we definitely need some help :-)!

Any clues?

Thanks,
Christian.
