Even when we fully format the DSSU disk and we then run 1 backup job to this disk and directly afterwards we duplicate it to tape we get these speeds (35-40MB/sec).  So at that time no fragmentation at all is involved.

We saw the same thing.  Again, a dd of the file to tape went fast.   A destage of the same file to the same tape drive went slow.  This was repeatable on multiple Solaris and Windows servers.  It's not a disk subsystem configuration or load issue.   If it was fragmentation or a raid configuration issue, the dd should also have been slow.
