3.6 PROGRAMMABLE DRIVE CAPACITY Using the MODE SELECT command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the MODE SELECT (6) parameter list table in the SAS Interface Manual, part number 100293071. A value of zero in the Number of Blocks field indicates that the drive will not change the capacity it is currently formatted to have. A number other than zero and less than the maximum number of LBAs in the Number of Blocks field changes the total drive capacity to t

3.8.3 UNMAP The UNMAP command requests that the device server break the association of a specific Logical Block address from a Physical Block, thereby freeing up the Physical Block from use and no longer requiring it to contain user data. An unmapped block will respond to a READ command with data that is determined by the setting of the LBPRZ bit in the READ CAPACITY parameter data. 3.8.4 FORMAT UNIT command A device which supports Thin Provisioning will be capable of performing a SCSI

Sustained performance is defined as the worst case performance that the product will be able to achieve when the product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundaries. For models that support Lifetime Endurance Management, write values also take into account the worst case performance throttling that may occur to ensure the product meets specified reliability specifications. Due to the nature of Flash memory technologies there are many factors that can resu
