this hdd drive

Hard to tell without knowing what "this HDD drive" is. The random 4k looks a bit low, but then again HDDs have high seek time, so that could ruin the result there.

About normal for a HDD. You get HDDs for raw storage and/or the ability to not lose data if you don't power on the thing for a few years.

If you want more speed and don't mind some hackery, look into getting a 16GB optane stick (as low as $7, including shipping off ebay) and setting up Intel RST/StoreMi/PrimoCache/lvm-cache(linux). It'll 10x the speed.

This is the equivalent linux benchmark with a boatload of cache in front of 4HDDs. Something like 99% of hits come off cache, after it's been warmed up. Some quirkiness because it's a network drive (so connected over a 10Gbps ethernet cable) and I have caching on both the NAS and my local system (a la iSCSI).
