Mode Page Programming (Applicable to SCSI / FC / SAS / USB devices)
In general, misconfiguring mode pages can render device
invisible to O/S
You should have the device on a UPS or you risk data loss if
power is lost before the disk flushes pending I/Os in the
cache.
Export mode pages to file
Import mode pages from file
Very convenient for cloning all mode pages for multiple
devices.

Secure Erase Family Commands
Destroys all data on the disk
Set n to 1 for one iteration. This is normally sufficient. The
official Department of Defense specification states that you
must use 3 full passes for compliance to their spec.
Check to see if disk has
"data" on it
The -n parameter sets the maximum time in minutes you
want it to run. You will generally set the n value to 1, unless
the disk is partitioned. If that is the case, set n to zero so it
will test entire disk.
Look for data on entire disk
This produces chart of how many times each byte is used on
the disk, and whether or not there are any repeating patterns
that could indicate there is live data.
