I have seen this when you are applying PTFs or building image Catalogues. Were you doing either?

All above drives are identical. (15K 140G SAS) All are in the same RAID set.
All contain RAID Stripe data.
Power8, i 7.2, Internal RAID controller.
These drives (and the entire RAID set) are an iASP, so Drive 1 above is NOT the load source.
ONLY job running on these drives is CRTNWSSTG.
So over this one minute how can 1 of the drives be 48 percent busy and the others only 2%? The seemingly insignificant difference in I/Os just doesn't seem like it could possibly cause that large delta in percent busy!
