no, just leave hdparm. sdparm and hdparm have different features.But you don't need to run hdparm as a boot service anymore (except maybe for your optical drive. Maybe.)
I use hdparm to get info but do not run it as a service. It seems the BIOS and Linux picks up the best settings as it boots anyway. I also use hdparm for my SATA drive with no problems so far.
Why would a person need both? Dale:-) :-)
