The Write Sectors command transfers one or more sectors from the host to the device. The data is then written to 
the disk media.

The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time.

If an uncorrectable error occurs, the write will be terminated at the failing sector, when the auto reassign function is 
disable.

This indicates the number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If the Sector Count of 
zero is specified, 256 sectors will be transferred.

This indicates the sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)

In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)

This indicates the cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)

In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 8–15 (Mid) and bits 16–23 (High) 
(L = 1)

This indicates the head number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)

In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 24–27. (L = 1)

This indicates the retry bit; this bit is ignored.

This indicates the number of requested sectors not transferred. The Sector Count will be 
zero unless an unrecoverable error occurs.

This indicates the sector number of the last transferred sector. (L = 0)

In LBA mode this register contains the current LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)
