Dear Christoph,

Thank you for your reply.
These SSDs do support write 0 command and the function was tested without issue.
But since these SSDs are DRAMless products, the write 0 command will take a lot longer to complete which had impacted the product performance.
Due to the FW had been frozen, we would like to check if we could apply CL for these 2 products.

Can you explain why these SSDs do claim write Zeroes but it doesn't actually work, and why this is not fixable in a firmware update?
