Depends on how fast is your disk, what file system and kernel you use, and how low is your network latency. Difficult to predict. But it's basically as fast as it can get given 1) hardware constraints 2) raft consensus.

If you want light-speed insert/delete, you could probably don't use the disk at all: as long as a majority of your nodes don't die, you won't lose any data. You can also go somewhere in between and save to disk only at specific intervals.
