That is not even close to reasonable. I have never seen buffered reads THAT
bad.
Timing cached reads: 1316 MB in 2.09 seconds = 629.02 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 158 MB in 3.02 seconds = 52.25 MB/sec
That is what I get when I run it on an HP d325.
Do this too if you want some more information on your drives.
hdparm -I /dev/hda
