bMaxOutBufferSize

Specifies the max size of the data-out buffer in units of 512 bytes. The minium size is 4 KB or a value of 0x08.

bRPMB_ReadWriteSize

Specifies the maximum number of Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) frames allowed in Security Protocol In and Security Protocol Out. Each frame is 256-bytes.

bDynamicCapacityResourcePolicy

Specifies a device's spare blocks resource management policy. Contains one of the following values:

Value Description
0x00 Spare blocks resource management policy is per logical unit.
0x01 Spare blocks resource management policy is per memory type.

bDataOrdering

Specifies if a device supports out-of-order data transfer. Contains one of the following values:

Value Description
0x00 Out-of-order data transfer is not supported.
0x01 Out-of-order data transfer is supported.
All other values Reserved for future use.

bMaxContexIDNumber

Specifies the max number of contexts supported by a device. This number must be greater than 5.

bSysDataTagUnitSize

Specifies the system data tag unit size.

bSysDataTagResSize

Specifies the maximum size in bytes allocated by the device to handle system data.

bSupportedSecRTypes

Specifies the supported Secure Removal types. The first 3 bits of the variable are flags that represent different supported Secure Removal types.

Bit Description
0 Information removed with an erase of the physical memory.
1 Information removed by overwriting the addressed locations with a single character followed by an erase.
2 Information removed by overwriting the addressed locations with a character, its complement, then a random character.
3 Information removed using a vendor-defined mechanism.
4-7 Reserved for future use.

wSupportedMemoryTypes[2]

Specifies the supported memory types in a bitmap.

Bit Description
0 A normal memory type is supported.
1 A system code memory type is supported.
2 A non-persistent memory type is supported.
3 Enhanced memory type 1 is supported.
4 Enhanced memory type 2 is supported.
5 Enhanced memory type 3 is supported.
6 Enhanced memory type 4 is supported.
7-14 Reserved for future use.
15 A RPMB memory type is supported.

dSystemCodeMaxNAllocU[4]

Specifies the maximum number of allocation units for the System Code for a device.

wSystemCodeCapAdjFac[2]

Species the Capacity Adjustment Factor for the System Code memory type.

dNonPersistMaxNAllocU[4]

Species the maximum number of Allocation Units for a non-persistent memory type.

wNonPersistCapAdjFac[2]

Specifies the capacity adjustment factor for the non-persistent memory type.

dEnhanced1MaxNAllocU[4]

Specifies the max number of Allocation Units for the enhanced memory type 1.

wEnhanced1CapAdjFac[2]

Specifies the Capacity Adjustment Factor for the enhanced memory type 1.

dEnhanced2MaxNAllocU[4]

Specifies the max number of Allocation Units for the enhanced memory type 2.

wEnhanced2CapAdjFac[2]

Specifies the Capacity Adjustment Factor for the enhanced memory type 2.

dEnhanced3MaxNAllocU[4]

Specifies the max number of Allocation Units for the enhanced memory type 3.

wEnhanced3CapAdjFac[2]

Specifies the Capacity Adjustment Factor for the enhanced memory type 3.

dEnhanced4MaxNAllocU[4]

Specifies the max number of Allocation Units for the enhanced memory type 4.

wEnhanced4CapAdjFac[2]

Specifies the Capacity Adjustment Factor for the enhanced memory type 4.

dOptimalLogicalBlockSize[4]

Specifies the optimal logical block size.

bHPBRegionSize

Specifies the size of the HPB region.

bHPBNumberLU

Specifies the maximum number of logical units in which HPB can be enabled.

bHPBSubRegionSize

Specifies the size of the HPB subregion. The bHPBSubRegionSize can't exceed bHPBRegionSize.

wDeviceMaxActiveHPBRegions

Specifies the mximum number of active HPB regions supported by the device.

Reserved2[2]

Reserved for future use.

dWriteBoosterBufferMaxNAllocUnits[4]

Specifies the total WriteBooster buffer size supported by the device. The sum of WriteBooster buffer sizes for all LUs is less than or equal to the value indicated by dWriteBoosterBufferMaxNAllocUnits.

bDeviceMaxWriteBoosterLUs

Specifies the maximum number of supported WriteBooster buffers.

bWriteBoosterBufferCapAdjFac

Specifies the capacity adjustment factor for the WriteBooster buffer memory type. This value provides the LBA space reduction multiplication factor when WriteBooster Buffer is configured in user space reduction mode.
