I don't think "I don't see problems" and "I don't have problems" are quite
the same thing, and unfortunately that's been an issue with all Windows
flavors. The lost interrupts may be a configuration issue, shared irq,
using softirq, etc.

I don't know what Win is doing, but ignoring interrupts completely and
polling status is not out of the question. Do you have DMA set on the
drives?
