That seems quite odd. hdparm -Tt yields the following every time for me. I
run a Maxtor D740X drive (40GB) on a piddly little VIA KT133 chipset.
peanut:~/mythtv/MC# hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
I/O support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 4866/255/63, sectors = 78177792, start = 0
busstate = 1 (on)
peanut:~/mythtv/MC# hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.65 seconds =196.92 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.58 seconds = 40.51 MB/sec
