This command matches the logical block data in the data buffer with the same logical block data
recorded on the disk media. If the data in the logical block in the data buffer is newer than the data
on the disk media, those data are written to the disk media.
When the write cache is used, unwritten data held in the data buffer which are written to the disk
media are written using this command.
