This is documented in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:

  There is only one file /etc/sysconfig/harddisks for all disks
  after installing the hdparm-RPM. If you need different hdparm parameters
  for each of your disks, copy /etc/sysconfig/harddisks to
  /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhda (hdb, hdc...) and modify it.
  Each disk which has no special parameters will use the defaults.
  Each non-disk which has no special parameters will be ignored.
