How to read the CinemaStar model number
HCS725050VLAT80 = 500 GB/8 MB buffer
H = Hitachi
C = CinemaStar S = Standard 72 = 7200 RPM
50 = Full capacity — 500 GB
50 = Capacity this model, 50 = 500 GB
(40 = 400 GB, 32 = 320 GB, 25 = 250 GB) V = Generation code
L = 26.1mm z-height
AT = PATA 133 (A3 = SATA 3.0Gb/s) 8 = 8 MB buffer
0 = Reserved
