Write Long (10)
The Write Long command allows for Error Correcting Code (ECC). The data sent from the initiator will include ECC fields as well as real data. The Byte Transfer Length field tells the target how much data will need to be returned when the data is subsequently retrieved with a Read Long command. The CDB structure is:
| bit→ ↓byte |
7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Operation code = 3Fh | |||||||
| 1 | COR_DIS | WR_UNCOR | PBLOCK | Reserved | Obsolete | |||
| 2 | LBA | |||||||
| 3 | ||||||||
| 4 | ||||||||
| 5 | ||||||||
| 6 | Reserved | |||||||
| 7 | Byte Transfer Length | |||||||

Famous quotes containing the words write and/or long:
“The philosophy of hedonism means little to lovers of pleasure. They have no inclination to read philosophy, or to write it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Oh sure, everyone goes back to the earth at some point, but life itself is a thread that is never broken, never lost. Do you know why? Because each man makes a knot in the thread during his lifetime: it is the work he has done and that’s what gives life to life in the long stretch of time: the usefulness of man on this earth.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
