July 19, 20214 yr Diagnostics attached - I have 6 brand new blank drives that are Dell Seagate's. They wont attach, mount, or select. gsa-diagnostics-20210719-0249.zip
July 19, 20214 yr All disks are failing to read sector 0, see if they have some kind of protection/encryption enable.

July 19, 20214 yr See if it's the same as this: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/110835-solved-help-with-a-sas-drive/?do=findComment&comment=1011689
July 19, 20214 yr Author This does not seem to be the case, no PSID on the drive and smartctl doesnt show protection: root@GSA:~# smartctl -i /dev/sdaa smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-5.10.28-Unraid] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: SEAGATE Product: ST91000642SS Revision: ASF9 Compliance: SPC-4 User Capacity: 1,000,204,886,016 bytes [1.00 TB] Logical block size: 512 bytes Rotation Rate: 7200 rpm Form Factor: 2.5 inches Logical Unit id: 0x5000c50055ca49d3 Serial number: 9XG36YA6 Device type: disk Transport protocol: SAS (SPL-3) Local Time is: Mon Jul 19 12:48:33 2021 CDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

July 19, 20214 yr Author Ok. So even though it read that it was not protected, I did get this: sg_format failed: Data protect So it seems there is some sort of protection but how to clear it. I will try the raid controller next, need to open it for ram removal anyways.
July 19, 20214 yr Looks like you have got the fips version which are sed enabled. You need to remove SED protection. SED FIPS 140-2 Models ST91000642SS ST9500622SS there is a PSID printed on the disk. i used this to reset the disk, by usng the below command where <PSIDNODASHS> is the PSID on the disk and device> is the device sedutil-cli --PSIDrevertAdminSP <PSIDNODASHS> /dev/<device> I am not sure where to get sedutil

Found download here https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/wiki/Executable-Distributions Download linux, copy to unraid installpkg sedutil_LINUX.tgz Quote root@unraid:/sedutil/Release_x86_64/GNU-Linux# ls sedutil-cli* root@unraid:/sedutil/Release_x86_64/GNU-Linux#
July 20, 20214 yr Author @SimonF there is no PSID on the disk that I can find unless its under the "Tamper Evident Label" which I find to be weird, these are new replacement drives from Dell, so its possible. I did download the sedutil to see if I could get any info, but can't run it on unraid. The Kernel flag libata.allow_tpm is not set correctly Please see the readme note about setting the libata.allow_tpm Invalid or unsupported disk /dev/sdz
July 20, 20214 yr See if you can replace the with the standard non encrypted model, these encrypted models can be a pain:

Thanks all for the support. I wonder if they don't release or cover the PSID's for security now? Strange indeed.
