Seagate is thinking green.
"This has led the largest disk drive manufacturer in the world,
Seagate, to create new drives that no longer use chlorine- and
bromine-based chemistries. This success was largely facilitated
by the company's full material disclosure system, which allows
its engineers to know the complete content of their
products." � ChemSec & CPA Report: Greening Consumer Electronics
