Description
0
The drive returns the last logical block address of the drive.
1
The drive returns the last logical block address and block length in bytes are that of the
logical block address after which a substantial delay in data transfer will be encountered.
This returned logical block address shall be greater than or equal to the logical block
address specified by the logical block address fields in the command descriptor block.
This option provides the information which the initiator needs to determine the amount of
space available on the same track which is accessible without a head switch or seek.
