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.
• Hitachi HCS5C1050CLA382 is the final 500 GB CinemaStar to be sold entirely by Hitachi. This model's successor, Hitachi HCS5C1050DLE630, would start life entirely being made by Hitachi, before being transferred to Toshiba as the TOSHIBA DT01ABA050V.
