RFE: Add SAS/SATA/NVMe "SANITIZE" command option for secure erasure

Open MrPippin66 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

I see no option in the current code for anything beyond the "SECURE ERASE" command invocation.

Per the NIST standard (NIST Special Publication 800-88, Revision 1, Guidelines for Media Sanitization), it's preferred to use the 'SANITIZE" command over "SECURE ERASE" where available.

I would request this option be supported in a future release.

It would also be advisable to allow Cryptographic Erase, where SED has been used.

Enhanced Erase mode. The ATA Sanitize Device feature set commands are preferred
over the over the ATA Security feature set SECURITY ERASE UNIT command when
supported by the ATA device.
