It stops working and becomes unusable. If I reboot and log me in, i can't do it because it stops working.
But you might have to turn off AHCI in the BIOS before it works without AHCI. When you do that, AHCI shouldn't work --- that might an easy way to disable it.
I can't disable it in the bios.. i don't find any options about AHCI, ACPI, APM,..
See also man hdparm, maybe hdparm can tell you more about the disk and it's power management.
hdparm -i "AdvancedPM=no WriteCache=enabled" -- Frederic
