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
