Those numbers seem about right. The three disks in my
PC at work show:
sda: Samsung SpinPoint SP0411C 40GB SATA/150 7200RPM 2MB HDD
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 2920 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1460.18 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 150 MB in 3.02 seconds = 49.72 MB/sec
Hmm, I tried using hdparm-9.3 (as opposed to the default 6.6) and the
cached reads dropped to short of 700. The buffered numbers remained
though.
