Table 161 Write Buffer Command (E8h)
The Write Buffer command transfers a sector of data from the host to the sector buffer of the device. The sectors
of data are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time.
The Read Buffer and Write Buffer commands are synchronized such that sequential Write Buffer and Read
Buffer commands access the same 512 byte within the buffer.
Buffer commands access the same 512 byte within the buffer.
