Those are slowish times even for a 7200rpm disk. My desktop here at
home (Ubuntu) has a slow 7200 drive and hdparam reports a lot faster
than that. Well, it is a Caviar "Green" drive which means that 7200
is the fastest speed but it does spin slower too.

sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda

Timing buffered disk reads: 244 MB in 3.01 seconds = 81.10 MB/sec
