Write and Verify 650 Mbyte and 1.3-Gbyte optical disks. The 2.6 Gbyte
capacity drives cannot Format, Erase, Write, or Write and Verify 650

media combinations, a CHECK CONDITION status will result with the
Sense Key/Additional Sense Code set to Data Protect/Write Protected.
For write-once optical disks, blank checking is performed before writing
data. If a written block is detected during blank checking, the drive will
return a CHECK CONDITION status. The sense key/additional sense
code will be set to BLANK CHECK/Overwrite Attempted.
