UNMAP Capability Feature

The UNMAP capability feature is a SCSI command that is used to reclaim unused LBAs from the SSD. The UNMAP feature allows an application or OS to tell the storage array that the disk blocks contain deleted data so the array can deallocate the blocks. Deallocation reclaims storage space and helps in wear leveling management. Using the UNMAP capability feature extends the SSD lifespan.

Note: The UNMAP Capability feature can be enabled on the volume using SAS and NVMe SSD only.
