Oooops, my bad. I decided to double check after I posted and after  
doing a 10GB sequential write, I realized the software I used to test  
was using 10^9 for GB instead of 1024^3, resulting in higher rates  
than in reality.
After redoing the math using the correct amount of data transfered, I  
got to 113MB/s which is what the document defines as the maximum  
theoretical throughput.
Best regards,
Eduardo
