Write (0Ah) 3
The WRITE command transfers one or more blocks from the host to the
current logical position. When in Buffered Mode (the DLT tape drive
default mode), the tape drive reports GOOD status on WRITE commands
as soon as this data block has been transferred to the data buffer. Any
check conditions will be experienced as deferred errors. Refer to the
MODE SELECT command subsection for more information on Buffered
Mode.
