Field Description
Service
Action
A service action of 05h identifies this as the REPORT DEVICE IDENTIFIER
command.
Allocation
Length
If the Allocation Length is not large enough to hold all of the parameter data, the
drive truncates the data it returns. This is not considered an error. The actual
length of the parameter data is available in the Identifier Length field in the
parameter data. If the remainder of the parameter data is required, the application
client must send a new REPORT DEVICE IDENTIFIER command with a value
in the Allocation Length field large enough to hold all of the data.
