hdparm -S <value> <device> read the man page to understand how to set the values, they are a not linear.
If you have an md device running overtop of it or LVM that would need to be stopped or disabled before device deletion. The scans are on the pci hardware that is over the device. in /sys/devices/pci0* there are scan/rescans and dev_rescan that tell the boards and/or chips to look again. Some will rescan the chip on the pci bus, some will check the device to see if it suddenly got bigger (SAN can resize luns). find /sys/devices/pci* -name "*scan*" -ls with lspci and other commands you should be able to determine what each device is under. The ancient standard is "- - -" and has worked whenever I have used it, but google may be able to confirm.
