Secure Erase in a Memory Device

摘要

The various implementations described herein include systems, methods and/or devices used to enable secure erase in a memory device. In one aspect, the method includes detecting a secure erase trigger. The method further includes determining a secure erase algorithm from among one or more secure erase algorithms to use in accordance with the detected secure erase trigger. The method further includes performing a secure erase operation in accordance with the selected secure erase algorithm, the secure erase operation including: (1) signaling a secure erase condition to a plurality of controllers on the memory device, (2) erasing one or more non-volatile memory devices on the memory device, (3) monitoring the secure erase operation, and (4) recording data related to the secure erase operation.
