Thanks for the tip!

what was your result?

The same - my CPU was about only about 50% saturated on the pv command (if the disk was twice as fast, I guess the CPU would become the bottleneck)

So your SSD is slow-ish... FYI most achieve ~280MB/s these days (which is the practical bottleneck of a SATA 300MB/s link).
