Everytime i disable APM from crystaldisk Info , after restating PC it reset the APM settings. so is their any way to disable it permanently???
 
http://apmtimer.sourceforge.net/ disables intellipark for APM and changes APM from 0x60 to 0x80.

You still need idle3-tools or wdidle3.exe if you do not want to use the intellipark feature.

idle3 and apm are different settings.
 
set Resident, Startup in Function menu, and Advanced Feature > Auto AAM/APM. crystaldisk needs to run at startup to disable APM and run again after hibernate/sleep to keep it disabled.

or you can try Quiet HDD https://sites.google.com/site/quiethdd/
