Support for NVME Sanitize Block Command

[gms-electronics]

The NVME Standard outlines mandatory and optional commands to obtain NVME certification for products.  The full document can be revisioned here.

The command "sanitize" referenced on page  is optional, therefor the question comes up if the solidgm / intel drives support the command fully. 

If possible please provide a support matrix.

Dear gms-electronics,

Thank you for contacting Solidigm™ Support.

You are correct that the NVMe standard outlines both mandatory and optional commands, with the "sanitize" command being listed as optional. This command is designed to ensure that all data on the drive is securely erased, providing an added layer of data security. To give you detailed answer we need more clarification from you and other specific information. So, please do not hesitate to contact us via  our Support Hub    and create a ticket . We will be happy to assist you!

Kind regards,
Gleb

Hi Gleb, 

what additional information would be needed?

[SolidigmGleb]

Dear gms-electronics,

Regarding your request about the command "sanitize"  command, this option might function differently on each model of our drives. Due to this fact, we need to know more information, for example, the model of the drive that you are interested in, or the drive's serial number if you already have it.

We can not request such information on our community, due to this fact we asked you to create a case via Solidigm Support hub.

Kind regards,
Gleb
