The Security Erase Unit command erases all user data and disables the security mode feature (device lock
function). So after completing this command, all user data will be initialized to zero with write operation. At this
time, it is not verified with read operation whether the sector of data is initialized correctly. Also, the defective
sector information and the reassigned sector information for the device are not updated. The security erase
