I'm gonna make a guess here that it's WAL activity, or log activity.
So first off, are you saving postgresql's output to a log? if so, try
logging to a different drive than your data drive or turning off logging
for a quick test.
If it's WAL writes that are causing the problem, you can either try to
change the settings for commit_delay and commit_siblings or symlinking the
pg_xlog directory somewhere else. If you aren't sure how to do that,
don't learn how to on a live production server with real data.
