An information writing method is applied to an non-volatile dual in-line memory module (NVDIMM), the NVDIMM includes an NVDIMM controller and a non-volatile memory (NVM), and the method includes receiving, by the NVDIMM controller, a sanitize command from a host, where the sanitize command is used to instruct the NVDIMM controller to sanitize data in the NVM using a first write pattern, and the first write pattern is one of at least two patterns of writing information into the NVM, and writing, by the NVDIMM controller, information into the NVM according to the sanitize command.
