Hi! I bought 2 used SAS drives, a exos 7E8 and an older model. I formatted both to 512 succefully, but I can wipe and use on truenas only the first one, the second one (ST6000NM0034 DKS2F-H6R0SS 7FA6) gave me a "IO error"when I try to wipe it, afaik it is caused by the proprietary firmware...
So I managed to get it replaced by the seller, the replacement is the same model as the working exos, but it give me the same IO error as the older one... I did the same procedures (
Code:
sg_format --format --size=512
) on both so idk why the first one works, but not the second.

This is the smartctl -i output:
Code:
root@truenas[/home/truenas_admin]# smartctl -i /dev/sdd

It is the same as the other exos (minus serial and spin hours).
Any idea on how should I start troubleshooting this problem?

Thank you!!

No problems there. Probably more helpful if you showed your full terminal log with commands and errors. Boot up a usb ubunutu or something and see if you can wipe them
