What is SPTI?

Is it some user-mode DLL which wraps around
DeviceIoControl(…IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH…)?
Can I use DeviceIoControl directly (using the handle from
CreateFile("\\.\PhysicalDrive0…) or there are some gotchas in it?

DeviceIoControl(…IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH…)?
spti is a test app (an .exe) whose source code is provided with ddk. It is
not a dll.

Can I use DeviceIoControl directly (using the handle from
CreateFile("\\.\PhysicalDrive0…) or there are some gotchas in it?
yes you can. no gotchas for passthrough.
