XDREAD (10) Command (52h)

The XDREAD (10) command requests that the target transfer to the initiator the
XOR data generated by an XDWRITE (10) command. The XOR data transferred is
identified by Logical Block Address and transfer length that are the same as those
specified in a prior XDWRITE (10) command. If a match is not found, the command
is terminated with a CHECK CONDITION status. The sense data is set to
ILLEGAL REQUEST: INVALID FIELD IN CDB.

the original XDWRITE (10) command that generated
the XOR data requested.
