C.5.2 Write caching and write merging
Write caching. The drive uses the write segment to store write com-
mands and data. After the drive caches the commands and data, it is
immediately ready to process new commands. The drive writes the data
to the disc at its next convenient opportunity.
Write merging. The drive accepts contiguous write commands and
executes them sequentially as one command.
