from the manpage of hdparm:
-t Perform timings of device reads for benchmark and
compari-
son purposes. For meaningful results, this
operation
should be repeated 2-3 times on an otherwise
inactive sys-
tem (no other active processes) with at least a
couple of
megabytes of free memory.

if the above conditions are not met your test is irrelevant
