I've attempted the following: turned off "allow telemetry" in the local group policy editor, added "AllowTelemetry" to regedit with a value of 0, but the MS compatibility telemetry still functions and is affecting my HDD. Is it possible to disable it?

Windows 10 continues to collect user information from more than 3,518 distinct data sources at its most minimal configuration. This figure already includes contributions from Microsoft services embedded within the OS, such as Bing (used by Cortana and Windows search), Edge browser, Windows Store, Outlook, Skype, and others. If you've configured Windows 10 to Basic data collection and the Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry script remains active, it's likely one of the numerous telemetry functions still running, irrespective of your settings. To avoid telemetry, consider installing Windows 7 from a June 2015 image or later, and disable Windows Update to block further updates. Some users have reported attempts to disable this feature via community forums, but others suggest that a workaround exists. It appears there might be an additional configuration that stops the restart of this data-gathering script. For guidance on disabling Windows Update, refer to the first tutorial in a video about stopping updates. Be aware that even when you turn off airplane mode, Microsoft can still send collected data to their servers once service is restored. The Customer Experience Improvement Program may continue operating in the background, ensuring data is gathered even after opt-outs. Ultimately, Microsoft aims to maximize data extraction from Windows 10, making it challenging to fully disable collection.
