Replacing a 512gb SSD with a 512gb SSD Disk is too small?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Having replaced a number of drives in the past, I have never really had issues with this, until today.

 

I have a red balled SSD. I checked the SMART report and nothing was amiss but having another 512gb SSD (which I bought as a pair) I decided to just replace it. 

Shut down the system

Replaced the SSD

Powered up the array

Took it offline

Assigned the new disk

Got an error message "The replacement disk must be as big or bigger than the original."

 

I have looked around the forum some and I seen some mentions of using sg_format and sg_sanitize... all of these fail to run on this ssd. hdparm -N /dev/sdn reports

max sectors = 1000215216/1000215216, HPA is disabled

 

it's not an issue for me to go and get a 1tb drive to replace it with but it would be nice to use what I already have...

 

Attached is the SMART report for the new ssd and for the tower itself

 

Tks all for looking
