Hitachi HCS5C1025CLA382

Hitachi HCS5C1025CLA382 was a hard drive model created by Hitachi. Part of the CinemaStar 5K1000 family, it was the first of that product line to employ 500 GB platters for a single head 3.5" 250 GB model. It boasts CoolSpin branding, being a 5,700 RPM hard drive. It succeeded the Hitachi HCS5C3225SLA380, reducing the number of heads from two to one. Competitors included the WDC WD2500AVVS-xxM8Bx and ST3250312CS. It was the final 250 GB CinemaStar, as the capacity tier was made redundant starting from the 1 TB/platter generation.

Trivia

• This hard drive, like most Hitachi desktop drive firmware (dating back all the way to the IBM Deathstar family), has a bugged Power-off Retract Count counter; it always matches Load/Unload Cycle Count, even if the hard drive has always been powered down normally. It can sometimes exceed Power Cycle Count, which is also illogical.
