I've got a Seagate laptop drive inside an Intel NUC that is only
storage (not system boot or root). And I use a udev rule.
$ ls -l /etc/udev/
hwdb.bin hwdb.d/ rules.d/ udev.conf
$ ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d/
total 12
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 139 Oct 7 17:47 60-block-scheduler.rules
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 179 Oct 7 17:36 69-hdparm.rules
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 628 Oct 29 06:40 70-persistent-ipoib.rules
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/69-hdparm.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", \
KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]", \
ENV{ID_SERIAL_SHORT}=="WDZ47F0A", \
RUN+="/usr/sbin/hdparm -B 100 -S 252 /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c500a93cae8a"
