Set Features command
This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets
BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in the register does not represent
a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write caching features
enabled. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows:
