Depending on the amount of RAM, the cache can screw up your results quite badly. For something a little more realistic try:
Good point!
sync; dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=1024 conv=fsync
Interestingly, not much difference:
# sync; dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/test/delete.me bs=1M count=1024 conv=fsync 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 14.6112 s, 73.5 MB/s
