You should give further information if you want an answer. What kind of instance it is ? Instance sore / EBS / Optimized EBS ? Do you try to read / write on this disk ? How much ? ...
With m1 xlarge we reached 40 MBps and now with a hi1.4xlarge we don't have reach any limit yet, and we have 100+ MBps. My guess is that either you are writing (so no disk ops, because of memtables) or your client process data too slowly to use correctly your hardware.
