Shouldn't this be 32, the defined length of a READ CAPACITY 16 return?
In theory asking for less is fine, since the spec allows it, but it's
setting a trap for expanded users of READ_CAPACITY 16 since they might
blindly use a buffer[13] or beyond, not realising we didn't actually ask
for data beyond buffer[12].
