Re:Malware Could Use SSD Over-Provisioning to Bypass Securit... by Arnavion on Thursday December 30, 2021 @07:58PM (#29743611)
It's not just the Micron. The Micron is only mentioned specifically because it lets you change the OP area size as a feature. Any SSD where the OP area can be resized dynamically for any reason is affected, and the paper says:

>Recently, many storage devices vary the size of the OP area in real time to optimize performance. [...] The OP area can be freely changed by the user or by the firmware manager.
