Enabling Full Initialization On A Micron PCIe SSD

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.

CAUTION: Full Initialization permanently erases all data present on the disk.
CAUTION: On VMware ESXi hosts, before performing Full Initialization on the Micron PCIe SSD it is important to first delete any data stores on it. Failure to do so can result in system instability.

To erase an encrypted physical device, select the Full Initialization task. This task is available for:

  • Unconfigured SED drive
  • Foreign configured encrypted drives
  • Unconfigured and foreign SED drive even when an Encryption Key is not present in the controller
