MODE SENSE may be either MODE SENSE (6) or MODE SENSE (10). MODE SENSE (6) data
contains a 4-byte header, followed by one 8-byte block descriptor, followed by zero or more
variable-length pages, depending on the Page Code and Allocation Length.
4.10.1 MODE SENSE Data Headers
The MODE SENSE (6) and MODE SENSE (10) headers are depicted in the following figures.
Figure 4-60. MODE SENSE (6) Data Header — Data Format
Page Code Allows the host to select a specific page or all of the pages the drive
supports.
SubPage Code Specifies the subpage to return. Set to FFh to return all subpages.
Allocation Length Specifies the number of bytes that the host has allocated for returned
MODE SENSE data. An Allocation Length of 0 indicates that the drive
returns no MODE SENSE data. This is not considered an error and the
drive returns GOOD status.
