-WriteAtomicityDisableNormal:

 

(For NVMe devices only) Shows the atomic write status. One of:

 

 • 0: If cleared to ‘0’, the atomic write unit for normal operation shall be honored by the controller. 

 

• 1: The host specifies that the atomic write unit for normal operation is not required and the controller shall only honor the atomic write unit for power fail operations
