You can install the hwtools package, then edit the /etc/init.d/hwtools
script. On my workstation, it contains, among other things:

[...]

# hdparm optimization
# Switches on interrupts during transfers and does multi sector transfers
if command -v hdparm >/dev/null 2>&1; then
   hdparm -q -d1 -c3 -a4 -m16 -u1 -W0 /dev/hda
   true
fi

[...]
