Then, you could do performance test to identify the maximum transfer rate to the disk subsistem, for example using dd. Then, identify if your application can reach that transfer rate.

vmstat [interval] [number_of_samples]
For example, using:
vmstat 300 10
Will display 10 samples every 5 minutes (300 seconds).

But this is system dependent. As a general rule, a value close to 10 can indicate an I/O problem. As a rule of thumb, consider 25% as high iowait if you have idle cpu.
Iowait can be caused also by paging/swapping acitivities, this occurs if your system memory is not enough, check the swap in swap out columns in the output of vmstat (si/so).
You can also use the "sar -d" and iostat commands to identify the transfers/request per second.
