Table 194 Request Sense Data Ext command (0Bh)
The Request Sense Data Ext command allows the reporting of the most recent sense data from the device.
When sense data is available, the sense key (K), additional sense code (C), and additional sense code qualifier (Q)
fields shall be set to values that are defined in the SPC-4 standard.
Otherwise, the sense key, additional sense code, and additional sense code qualifier shall be cleared to zero.
Default of Sense Data Reporting feature set is invalid.
Request Sense Data Ext returns KCQ of the latest command execution result except C3 Command. KCQ is deleted
after Request Sense Data Ext execution.
If another command is executed before Request Sense Data Ext execution, KCQ will be overwritten at the result of
another command.
Request Sense Data Ext is not dependent on a setup of NCQ Auto Sense.
Request Sense Data Ext returns KCQ of Error which occurred in NCQ Command.
In Error of the command Aborted in the state of CA, KCQ of Error which occurred in NCQ Command is not updated.
Error of Non NCQ Command can perform acquisition of Sense Data in Read Log Ext (Page = 10h).
However, if Request Sense Data Ext is performed before Read Log Ext execution, Sense Data will become invalid,
and the contents of Sense Data acquired by Read Log Ext are not guaranteed.
