I wonder if my disk does qualify?
Model Family:     Hitachi Travelstar 80GN family
Device Model:     IC25N020ATMR04-0
-B 128 by default (disk's default, there is no BIOS). Changed now to 255.

The disk is entirely readable (though it had 2 bad sectors, corrected by
writing to them).

The 600,000 max cycle count seems a bit underestimated, though (fingers
crossed) :-)
