I have a non-ssd, RAID10, and my results are: real 0m1.351s - user: 0m0.307s - sys: 0m0.560s

This is a good answer and it does work across the board. The thing is some HDDs are quite fast and the results can be similar to those of SSDs. Still, this answer provides a good metric.

On my VPS without an SSD this provides results like your SSD example. I believe this may be fooled by "hybrid" (SSD cached HDD) setups.

doesn't work for me. I find SSD and HDD produce similar result.

On a VPS hardware's virtualized. You can't really tell if your files are stored on a HDD, cached, or stored on a SSD.
