MultiGHz, Multicore CPUs consume magnitudes more power than HDs. There are also a lot of low-power systems that use a HD, e.g. tv recorders or home entertainment systems. Also if you use some of the recently available ARM base plug computers, the power consumption of one HD makes a lot of difference compared to the remaining system. E.g. a SheevaPlug[0] consumes 2.3W in idle mode or 7W with full CPU according to wikipedia and running Fedora on it is supported within the secondary archs project.
