Seagate Ultra 160, Ultra 320 specification

7.2.1Fixed and variable length Command Descriptor Block formats

For all commands, if there is an invalid parameter in the command descriptor block, the device server termi- nates the command without altering the medium.

Table 57 shows the typical format of a 6-byte CDB. Table 58 shows a typical format of a 10-byte CDB. Table 59 shows the typical format of a 12-byte CDB. Table 60 shows the typical format of a 16-byte CDB. Table 61 shows the typical format for a variable length CDB.
