Hello,
I have a few IBM SSDs. The sector size of these SSDs is 528 and I cannot change it to 512. I am getting error as below. Is there anyone who provides free or paid support service on this issue?

Try
Code:
sg_format -v --format --size=4096 /dev/sg1
, as most SSDs don't have/support 512 anymore.
If this doesn't work it's maybe opal/native encryption lock or sth. you need to unlock first before you can reformat to anything. If this also won't work, you need generic firmware but I doubt that it's possible with this disk.
