Seek (7Xh); Table 92: Seek (7Xh) - Hitachi HTS541010G9AT00 - Travelstar 100 GB Hard Drive Specifications

The user can detect if the attempt to unlock the device has failed due to a mismatched password since this is the
only reason that an abort error will be returned by the drive AFTER the password information has been sent to the
device. If an abort error is returned by the device BEFORE the password data has been sent to the drive, then
another problem exists.
