Having had 4gb UW HD's, your scsi is working OK. As Harry T. said, they are
6-7 years old,
performance wise.  I have been through the UW (40mb/s), U2W LVD (80mb/s) and now U160
(160mb/s), Here's what you need to exceed the BIG IDE drives of today.

Here's my 3 HDD's, all 10k rpm U160 of 36, 36 and 18gb size.  Note that the
Disk I/O-marks
approximate your Western digital (above)....BUT... the data access time is
almost 3 times faster
(7.8ms).  I noticed notable improvement when I went to 10k rpm U160's from
7200 rpm U2W, 
especially opening the likes of Lotus SS and Moz.

Here is my Sysbench: (on Symbios Logic (NCR) (LSI Logic) - 53C1010-33 Dual
Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter)
