Correction, then retries are attempted. Recovered and/or corrected data (if any) is

 

 

 

 

transferred without the ending portion of the transfer. This is the default setting.

 

 

 

 

- Transfer Length is exhausted. Data transfer stops only if an unrecoverable error is

 

 

 

 

encountered. The target then creates CHECK CONDITION status with the appropri-

 

 

 

 

ate Sense Key. The data of the unrecoverable Block (if any), may not be transferred to

 

 

 

 

the initiator depending on the setting of the TB bit.
