5.43 SYNCHRONIZE CACHE Command (35h)
The SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command ensures that all logical blocks, within the
specified range in the drive's cache memory, have their most recent data value
recorded on the physical medium. If more recent data for a logical block, within the
specified range, exists in the cache memory than on the physical medium, then the
logical blocks from the cache memory is written to the physical medium. Logical
blocks are not necessarily removed from the cache as a result of the Synchronize
Cache operation.
