This sub-command requests a transfer of a single sector of data from the host. The password supplied in the
sector of data transferred will be compared with the stored SET MAX password.
If the password compare fails, then the drive returns command aborted and decrements the unlock counter.
On the acceptance of the SET MAX LOCK command, this counter is set to a value of five and will be
decremented for each password mismatch when SET MAX UNLOCK is issued and the drive is locked.
When this counter reaches zero, then the SET MAX UNLOCK command will return command aborted
until a power cycle.
If the password compare matches, then the drive will make a transition to the Set_Max_Unlocked state and
all SET MAX commands will be accepted.
