- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_NDI\_MASK

  No-deallocate inhibited mask

- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_NODMMAS\_MASK

  No-deallocate modifies media after sanitize mask

- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_CES

  Crypto Erase Support. If set, then the controller supports the Crypto Erase sanitize operation.

- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_BES

  Block Erase Support. If set, then the controller supports the Block Erase sanitize operation.

- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_OWS

  Overwrite Support. If set, then the controller supports the Overwrite sanitize operation.

- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_VERS

  Verification support

- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_NVERS

  Namespace verification support

- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_SPRRS

  Sanitize Purge Request and Reporting Supported. If set, then the controller supports the Purged (PRGD) field in the Sanitize Status log page and the Purge Required (PREQ) bit in the Sanitize command and the Sanitize Namespace command.

- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_NDI

  No-Deallocate Inhibited. If set and the No- Deallocate Response Mode bit is set, then the controller deallocates after the sanitize operation even if the No-Deallocate After Sanitize bit is set in a Sanitize command.

- NVME\_CTRL\_SANICAP\_NODMMAS

  No-Deallocate Modifies Media After Sanitize, mask to extract value.
