I have an issue with my 3TB  SAS HDDs. Whenever I try to assign them to my Array, the disappear and only come back after restarting the server. Assigning SSDs does not cause the same issue. 

Adding the same drives to different pools does not produce this issue, but I can't figure out how to start those pools.

 

The drives worked without a problem under Windows 10.

I have looked at a ton of other threads of similar issues, but nothing helped so far. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Disks are formatted with type2 protection, you need to remove that first:

 

 

When I try to use the command a the bottom of the page I get this Error:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

Can't really help with command as I don't have SAS drives, maybe google can help.

What command specifically?

This one:

Did you type that command manually or try to paste it from somewhere?

I tried both and got the same error either way.

The solution was this:

That's weird since your disks were already using 512B sectors, in the link above did you try the format option posted first or went directly to the last option? That option is only for some SED disks.

I only formatted my drives to use 512B sectors, as to SundarNET's post, and it worked without even having to enter any PSID

You didn't need that, in the link I posted first thing it mentions is to format the drive, but looks like you went directly to the end of the thread where it mention the PSID, but that is only for SED drives.

Oh my... I must have completely overlooked that. Thanks so much for your help!

You're welcome, I also didn't notice that when you posted the command, or would have brought it up.
