Sometimes they post it in technical papers or will supply on request.  
Regardless, optimization at this stage is a total waste of time, IMO.  
Provision 25-30% spare area on your drive and let it do it's thing. Unless  
you're in the habit of buying el-cheapo, cr*p drives (stay away from  
low-priced consumer) the firmware is smart enough to do the right thing.

If you want consistent speed and reliable drives you MUST spend money and  
get the professional  or high-end gear.
