Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to a lockable partition in NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express) drives with drive migration support are described. In an embodiment, a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) device stores data and partition logic circuitry locks or unlocks a partition on the NVM device in response to a command. The NVM device is physically migratable to a different platform and the NVM device is protected after power loss during runtime. The partition logic circuitry locks or unlocks the partition in response to the command and a cryptographic key. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
