Hey guys,

I have 3 ST8000NM0065 SAS drives that I at first thought were locked. After days of googling I finally found a command that would allow me to access the drive and format it. However, In my excitement I did not save the page. :( It was on this site though.

No matter the utility I use I get the same information. No protection. Not encrypted. No password. Except the following. Medium is write protected!

Anyone ran across this before? I was able to fix the first one with the SeaTools USB boot drive. One of the many commands I tried removed the write protect and I was able to successfully format the drive. But as I said I was an idiot and did not make a note of the one that worked. I will continue to scour the forums to see if I can find it again.

Thanks all in advance.
