This sounds very odd. We used NetApp's for news at my previous job and they worked beautifully.
What OS and patch levels do you have on the Sun. Not that SS20's are real speed demons...
What version of DataONTAP do you have on the filer? What ndd setting have you applied to the SS20?
Doe the large writes correspond to a specific news hierarchy (ie: misc.jobs.* or alt.binaries.*)?
What does sysstat look like when this occurs?
