Table 5-92Mode Parameter Header and Block Descriptor-Field Descriptions

Data Field	Description
Mode Data Length	Length of the returned data
Medium Type	Always zero (0)
Device-Specific	Bit 7 - This bit is set if the drive is write protected
Parameter	Bit 4 - This bit is always set to indicate that the drive supports cache memory.
Block Descriptor	Zero (0) if Block Descriptor (DBD) in MODE SENSE Command Descriptor Length sector is 0.
	If DBD is 1, then the Block Descriptor Length is eight (8).
Number of Blocks	The value in this field specifies the number of logical blocks on the unit that are affected by the
	current MODE SELECT command. When this field = 0, the MODE SELECT parameters are put
	into effect for all logical blocks on the unit. The maximum value allowed is the total number of
	initiator-addressable logical blocks for the value specified in the Block Length field. A value that
	is less than the maximum value will decrease the number of initiator-accessible logical blocks to
	the amount specified.
Block Length	The value in this field specifies the length, in bytes, of each block.
