Reports drive health status without disrupting the I/O data flow over both PCIe and SMBus Expanded LBA format support provides flexibility to host software pass metadata and protection information along with payload data Enable drive-level security for data at rest Improves performance by removing the need for data alignment at the host with concurrent TRIM operations Makes a wide range of stored data accessible and includes intelligent error tracking and logging increasing the reliability of finding and mitigating issues, and it supports error tracking and logging to increase the reliability of finding and mitigating issues Enhances runtime provisioning and storage management Overprovisioning of drives with single, smaller namespaces can improve endurance and random write performance Improves customer experiences by helping ensure device operate as expected. The host system can request the storage device (SSD) to perform tests to ensure it is functioning properly
