Hi,
I have a system with a Corsair SSD which I tried to use the secure erase 
feature on r252161 with not much success (do I specifically need 
enhanced erase support?).

The disk is also running an older version of firmware (1.1) but I'm 
unable to use fwdownload to update the firmware to 2.0 (the reason is 
because it's not supported by camcontrol currently according to 
manpage), is the addition of new brands of disks easy?
Happy to test diffs.
