SimonF Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Have you removed any protection. Xiv drives previous post have protection but doesnt seem to indicate from sgformat Formatted with type 2 protection 8 bytes of protection information per logical block Are you able to post smart report for the drive?

Clint45 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 I think I have found the problem the ST4000NM0043 is a SED drive (self encrypted drive) and I dont think unraid supports it. Quote Link to comment

Found this online I also had 48 Seagate SED drives that were locked and I use the SeaTools for windows with the PSID number on the drive and boom they are unlocked and we can erase them and re-purpose them no problem. You can install seatools on unraid details in this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment
Clint45 Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 the problem was TCG protection once I removed it withe the tools in Seachest they are god to go. the command i used was SeaChest_Security_x86_64-linux-gnu -d /dev/sgXX --revertSP --confirm this-will-erase-data --psid "your psid writen on the lable" if you want to check if protection is active on not run SeaChest_Security_x86_64-linux-gnu -d /dev/sgXX -i thank you all for the help /Clint45 2 Quote Link to comment
