Bearing in mind that average access time on a 7200rpm HD is around
8ms, those numbers sound too good to be true anyway. You could
configure some kind of software disk cache on your system, or ideally
a hardware caching RAID controller and it could improve things
dramatically, but not down to that kind of level (which represents
about 200x what a single disk system might be expected to deliver).

Otherwise as Jochem says, use RAM for your cache in the first place.
