The "access times" read from such programs like hdtune , everest etc... only apply to a linear read or write sequential pattern. The equivalent pattern in IOMeter would be 0% random, 1 Outstanding I/O.

It is 100% random actually. It is the time it takes for your array to access a tiny piece of data at some random location.
