June 12, 20251 yr Never seen this before on a HDD... but the logs confirm that this disk(which has some interface damage) is currently write protected...

June 12, 20251 yr Author The interface damage appears like the disk was dropped into a sata caddie and yea... not good... out of the 5 disks I got... 2 have lifted pads... this third disk is the only other disk I am willing to put into my array...
June 12, 20251 yr Author to note... my best guess is that this disk was shoved into a SATA interface(Its SAS) and thus pushed up the 4? pins right above the key(for a sata connection) and thus severed one of these pins? Not much to be found on the internet about this but, yea... trying to help get a clue as to what the issue is... Does someone here know if those 4 connectors atop a SAS interface could be used/is to lockout write operations on a SAS drive?
