    Is there a way to read sudo pass word  (for example from a file ) for executing a command as below
    hdparm -I /dev/sd?|grep -E “Number|/dev”
    or simply is it possible to call hdparm without sudo / password

    Search for sudoers http://linux.die.net/man/5/sudoers. You can configure sudo to not ask the password for "sudo hdparm"

    Can you provide exact line what need to be added to sudoers file that allow to launch hdparm without being asked for password?
    nevermind, checked and works:
    administrator ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/hdparm
