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.
