    Really? It must be an ATA thing, since I'm not sure I've ever seen a
    SCSI drive specs page without them (even Maxtor)

    http://www.maxtor.com/en/products/scsi/atlas_10k_family/atlas_10k_iv/index.htm
    "maximum sustained data transfer rate up to 72MB/sec."

    http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/enterprise/family/0,1086,530,00.html
    Lists not only sustained transfer rate, but tells you the center and
    edge platter speed range

    Also lists center/edge sustained speeds
