More specifically, time taken for writing a string to a file.

Your question is incomplete and cannot be answered correctly.

Declared average latency for desktop hard drives (see http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_barracuda_7200_12.pdf) is about 4 ms. Real performance depends on about a dozen factors.

See here: http://www.google.com/search?q=hard+drive+performance for more information.
