The parameters are held in mode pages. Apart from SCSI devices (e.g. disks, tapes and enclosures) sdparm can be used on any device that uses a SCSI command set. sdparm also can decode VPD pages including the device identification page. Commands to start and stop the media; load and unload removable media and some other housekeeping functions are supported. sdparm supports the Linux kernel 2.6, 3, 4 and 5 series with ports to FreeBSD, Solaris, Android and Windows.

An experimental feature noted in the ChangeLog is the ability to set and clear WCE (write cache enable) on a NVMe disk. More NVMe support may creep in on a as needed basis in the future. And 'sdparm -i ' will output NVMe device identification data formatted in the same fashion as the SCSI Device Identification VPD page. Doug Gilbert
