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 | ||||||||

| 6 | Reserved | |||||||
| 7 | Byte Transfer Length | |||||||

Famous quotes containing the words write and/or long:
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A book should long for pen, ink, and writing-table: but usually it is pen, ink, and writing-table that long for a book. That is why books are so negligible nowadays.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
