Device write status
If the device exhausts the available spare sectors, the NVMe PCIe SSD enters Write Protect (Read-Only) mode. In Write Protect mode, you
can only perform read operations to the device. The NVMe PCIe SSD self monitors for these limits, and software management applications
notify you when you reach these limits.
