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:
“I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We’ve been taught that silence would save us, but it won’t.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
“And the truth becomes a hole, something one has always known,
A heaviness in the trees, and no one can say
Where it comes from, or how long it will stay
A randomness, a darkness of one’s own.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
