From KDE-4.4.4 the start up interferes with the hard drives:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/232044

I don't why but it does, messes up any settings that hdparm may have set up 
and p*sses me off.  o_O

As soon as KDE starts up (even when waking up from suspend to ram) it resets 
the drives.  I haven't found a way of telling it how to behave (i.e. by 
respecting existing settings in hdparm).
