0
No header. The target shall not modify the initialization pattern.

1
The target shall overwrite the initialization pattern to write the logical block ad-
dress in the first four bytes of the logical block. The logical block address shall
be written with the most significant byte first.
1
0
The target shall overwrite the initialization pattern to write the logical block ad-
dress in the first four bytes of each physical block contained within the logical
block. The lowest numbered logical block or part thereof that occurs within the
physical block is used. The logical block address shall be written with the most
significant byte first.

Notes.
(1) If the initialization pattern length is not zero the target shall terminate the command with CHECK CONDI-
TION status. The sense key shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and the additional sense code shall be
set to INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST.
(2) If the initialization pattern length is zero the target shall terminate the command with CHECK CONDI-
TION status. The sense key shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and the additional sense code shall be
set to INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST.
The initialization pattern length field indicates the number of bytes contained in the initialization pattern. If the
length exceeds the current logical block size the target shall terminate the command with CHECK CONDI-
TION status. The sense key shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and the additional sense code shall be set
to INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST. The pattern is modified by the IP modifier field.

DEFECT DESCRIPTORS BYTES
(Refer to Table 5.2.1-6e, Table 5.2.1-6f for Format)
This section describes the format of the defect list that follows the Defect List Header described in Table
5.2.1-5b. Three formats are possible: the block format, the bytes from index format and the physical sector
format. Seagate drives do not support the block format, except as a customer special. The other two formats
that are supported are described in Tables 5.2.1-6e and 5.2.1-6f.
