The page descriptor(s) case of page_0 mode page format is defined in Table 5.38.

The page descriptor(s) case of sub_page mode page format is defined in Table 5.39.

The Medium Type field must always be loaded with code 00

and identify the default

medium type.

The controller ignores WP and DPOFUA bit in MODE SELECT command.

The Block Descriptor Length field specifies the total length in bytes of the block

descriptors. The eligible length values are 0 and 8. This means that at most one

block descriptor can be specified.

The Block Descriptor field specifies the area on the medium that is accessible to the

host computer.

The Number of Blocks field specifies the number of logical blocks on the medium that

satisfy the block length in the block descriptor. The number of blocks field = 0

indicates that the number of blocks value is not changed from the current value if the

block length of the Block Descriptor remains the same as the current value. And if

the block length of the Block Descriptor is different from the current value, the

controller uses the default maximum number of blocks as the number of blocks value.

The block length field specifies the length in bytes of the logical block.

Please refer to “Product Specifications” for the information of the eligible block length

values.
