from hdparm manpages:

       -T     Perform  timings  of  cache reads for benchmark and
              comparison purposes.  For meaningful results,  this
              operation should be repeated 2-3 times on an other­
              wise inactive system (no  other  active  processes)
              with at least a couple of megabytes of free memory.

I hope you didn't skip the part with "inactive system".
