    Try close all unnecessary programs (eg IE, FF, IM, aniti-virus etc) while running HDTune and run it again with the internet disabled. It looks like your hard drive was pre-occupied with other tasks.

    Something is running on the background taxing HD resources, thats why theres a dip and a massive incline.

    Turn off unnecessary processes even AV's

    But overall your HDtune result looks good.
