Sequential write on my $5/month DigitalOcean instance in NYC2 region:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=~/test.bin bs=1M count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 3.84267 s, 273 MB/s
It used to be about 80 MB/s last year, so it's gotten a lot better since.

My newest system isn't very heavily loaded yet; only has three VMs and a couple dozen websites on it.
