descriptors. The eligible length values are 0 and 8. This means that at most one
block descriptor can be specified.
The Block Descriptor field specifies the area on the medium that is accessible to the
host computer.
The Number of Blocks field specifies the number of logical blocks on the medium that
satisfy the block length in the block descriptor. The number of blocks field = 0
indicates that the number of blocks value is not changed from the current value if the
block length of the Block Descriptor remains the same as the current value. And if
the block length of the Block Descriptor is different from the current value, the
controller uses the default maximum number of blocks as the number of blocks value.
