Good.

Maybe because the application does not run as daemon but sets the defined 
parameters when the system boots. 

I looked at "/etc/default/hdparm" but there is no variable to "enable/
disable" the service so I'm afraid if you want to completely turn it off, 
you need to remove the program or just keep the default parameters (all 
settings commented "#" as you did).
