I noticed the same thing recently about Maxtor.  If this trend 
continues, we'll be getting less technical information about some 
commodity computer parts than we normally get about bottled water.

Western Digital still supplies technical data on their drives, and 
Hitachi (formerly IBM) drives advertise particularly low power 
dissipation.  I haven't checked Seagate lately, so Mark's comment is 
welcome:
