# ssd-flash-id


Linux open-source equivalent of [VLO's SSD Flash ID tools](http://vlo.name:3000/ssdtool/).
Identifies NAND flash chips on NVMe and SATA SSDs via vendor-specific commands,
reporting flash type (QLC/TLC/MLC/SLC), manufacturer, and technology node
for each NAND bank on the drive.

```
$ sudo ssd-flash-id /dev/nvme0
Model      : KINGSTON SNV2S1000G
Firmware   : SBM02106
Controller : SM2267XT (Silicon Motion)

Bank00: 0x89,0xd3,0xac,0x32,0xc6,0x00,0x00,0x00 - Intel 144L(N38A) QLC
Bank01: 0x89,0xd3,0xac,0x32,0xc6,0x00,0x00,0x00 - Intel 144L(N38A) QLC
Bank02: 0x89,0xd3,0xac,0x32,0xc6,0x00,0x00,0x00 - Intel 144L(N38A) QLC
Bank03: 0x89,0xd3,0xac,0x32,0xc6,0x00,0x00,0x00 - Intel 144L(N38A) QLC
```

## Install


```
cargo install ssd-flash-id
```

Or build from source:

```
cargo build --release
sudo ./target/release/ssd-flash-id
```

## NAND Identification


Recognizes flash from Micron, Intel, Spectek, Samsung, SK Hynix, Toshiba/Kioxia,
YMTC, SanDisk, and others. Reports technology node (e.g. 176L, 232L, BiCS5,
3dv7-176L), cell type (SLC/MLC/TLC/QLC), and page size where available.

## Usage


```
ssd-flash-id [options] [device]

options:
    -l, --list          list NVMe and SATA devices
    -c, --controller    force controller type:
                        nvme: smi, rtl, phison, maxio, marvell, innogrit, tenafe
                        sata: jm, smi-sata, yeestor, sandforce, rtl-sata
    --rtl-variant       force Realtek NVMe variant: v1 or v2
    --raw               dump raw flash ID bytes without decoding
```

Auto-detects the controller type. NVMe devices are found automatically; SATA
devices require an explicit path (e.g. `ssd-flash-id /dev/sda`).

## Requirements


- Linux (uses NVMe ioctl and ATA PASS-THROUGH via SG_IO directly, no external dependencies)
- Root privileges (`sudo`)
