goes to IBM Deskstar page and get the specifications for your disk;
you'll see that the sustained transfer rate (Chapter 4) (the one hdparm
is measuring) is about 40.8MB/s, without any other process/event
competing for the bus.
So your HD is OK! Try running bonnie++ and look its results; they will
be similar to hdparm but with additional info.
