I guess I'm a bit late here - sorry about that.
If you happened to have traces of the below runs - I'll be happy to provide further analysis.
You might also want to look into fio which allows you do write to a raw block device,
And has various sync options - so you are much more in control of the payload size
And how many reliable-writes / sync-caches were issued - if any.
Thanks,
