May 18, 20233 yr I've recently purchased 2 x SAS drives from ebay and connected them to a Fujitsu 9211-8i. On startup, the disks are not detected. But they show up inside the Avago Config Utility ie Slots 0 and 1 (ST2000NMCLAR2000 PS11, but has ST2000NM0001 on the label ) I've successfully formatted them using the config utility, but still the same issue. I tried other breakout cables and connected to an HPE H240 HBA but still no luck. Edited May 19, 20233 yr by komang
May 19, 20233 yr Author This is probably stickied somewhere in the forum but I somehow missed it. TLDR: 520 byte block size, needs 512. How to fix The problem was the block size. The disks were pulled from an EMC device and had a 520 byte block size. Installed Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 amd64 and didn't need to install ligsgutils2 & sg3-utils. Formatted disk to 512 Disk finally detected on startup ie Slot 3 ST2000NMCLAR2000 PS11
