I'm using Debian sid (so still at 3.2 kernel), currently using a 256G
Samsung SSD. What I get is:

root@scapa:~# hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/mapper/scapa_crypt=20

/dev/sda:
 Timing buffered disk reads: 690 MB in  3.01 seconds =3D 229.47 MB/sec

/dev/mapper/scapa_crypt:
 Timing buffered disk reads: 590 MB in  3.00 seconds =3D 196.43 MB/sec
root@scapa:~# cryptsetup status /dev/mapper/scapa_crypt=20
/dev/mapper/scapa_crypt is active and is in use.
  type:    LUKS1
  cipher:  aes-xts-plain
  keysize: 256 bits
  device:  /dev/sda2
  offset:  4096 sectors
  size:    499587760 sectors
  mode:    read/write
  flags:   discards
