No hard disk is that fast. Real life write performance is between 40MB/s
and 110MB/s. Without knowing what type of hard disk you have it would be
hard to say where you should lie.
But then, that would be burst performance while transferring a single large
file. Lots of small files will slow things down considerably. And if
you're reading and writing from the same disk, that'll cut speed again, by
over half isn't unreasonable.
CPU performance won't effect it, the bottlenecks will be the speed of the
hard disk, the PCI bus and the controller.
