The raw load cycle count is ridiculously high - but I believe the spec 
doesn't mandate what the raw number should mean. Of more interest are
the "value" and "worst value so far" numbers, and the "trip-point" number.

The value is 89, and the trip point is 0 - so you've used about 11% of the
drives load-unload cycle life so far.
