Les my Maxtor D740X 40GB 7200RPM shows:

-----
/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  0.52 seconds =247.58 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  1.60 seconds = 39.93 MB/sec
----

I dont know what file it is to add it to to make it run on boot, you could install it as a cron task, therefore executing the command every 10 mins, running it more than once does no harm
