2 ways i came to these numbers
1: hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
ran this a 6 times got the average speed
2: smartctr you can use
here is the scripts that was used to get the speed test using smartctl

scripts doesn't read correctly in post let me know if you understand it otherwise i will post a link if that is ok.
