FUA: When set to one forces the data to be retrieved from the storage media regardless of whether the storage device holds the requested information in its buffers or cache. If the device holds a modified copy of the requested data as a result of having cached writes, the modified data is first written to the media before being retrieved from the storage media as part of this operation. When cleared to zero the data may be retrieved either from the device’s storage media or from buffers/cache that the device may include.

Others: All other registers as specified for the WRITE DMA QUEUED EXT command defined in the ATA8-ACS standard, including the Sector Count 15:0 convention where a value of zero specifies that 65,536 sectors are to be transferred.
