If transport layer retries are enabled
and the vendor-specific number of retries, if any, for the read DATA frame
has not been reached,
That would suggest that even though
retries are enabled you don't have to do the retries. But if the customer
of your product enables data retries and you don't do it them waving the
"if any" clause as your excuse for not have to do the retry they
are expecting will not get you very far.

SAS: transport layer retries
Hello again,
If Transport Layer retries are enabled, and
a link layer error (e.g. a NAK is received) occurs during a Data transfer,
does a device, e.g. in SSP Target mode, have an option not to retry
the data? Can the Target/device server terminate the command (send the
status) without retrying? Will this action violate the specs?
