DPO
Disable Page Out. When the value of the field = 1, the device server will assign
the logical blocks accessed by this command the lowest priority for being
fetched into or retained by the cache.
When DPO = 0, the priority will be determined by fields in the Caching page.
BytChk
Byte Check. When the value is 1, the drive performs a byte-by-byte comparison
of the data on the medium with the data sent by the initiator in the data-out buff-
er transfer.
When 0, the drive performs a medium verification with no data comparison. In
this case, no data is sent by the initiator.
