Description
Parameters Savable. For MODE SELECT, this bit must be 0.
This field indicates the number bytes in the page. However, the value
does not include bytes 0 and 1. The length is returned in MODE
SENSE commands and must subsequently be set to the same value
when performing MODE SELECT. If the page length does not match
that expected by the drive, a CHECK CONDITION status is returned,
sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST.
The drive returns a CHECK CONDITION status with sense key set to
ILLEGAL REQUEST if it receives an unsupported Page Code or a Page
field with values not supported or changeable. In such cases, no
parameters are changed as a result of the command.
Not supported. Must be 0.
Must be 0. This field specifies the number of additional partitions to

Select Data Partitions. Must be 0.
Initiator Defined Partitions. Must be 0.

This field is valid for MODE SENSE only, and is set to 01h, indicating
