As far as I know hdparm tests are independent of the filesystem. At least here
I can also test directly on disks via /dev/sda or on unformatted disks...

If you want the performance of the filesystem, you have to run a real
benchmark.

Also, don't format one disk with ext3 and one with ntfs and compare these and
claim a "true" result. Because then you haven't compared ext3 with ntfs but
"ext3 on disk1" with "ntfs on disk2". Before saying anything about the
results, you have to also do "ext3 on disk2" and "ntfs on disk1".
