We routinely get 10-12MB/s on I/O hardware that can sustain a sequential write rate of 60+ MB/s with the WAL and data on the same disks. It depends on a few things you might not consider, including the number and type of columns in the table and the client and server encoding. The fastest results are with more columns in a table and when the client and server encoding are the same. - Luke
