February 8Feb 8 Community Expert These are 2024 HPE SAS drives I just bought. 2 drives both do the exact same thing. They are in an EMC Drive shelf with 6 6TB SAS drives that work fine.Feb 7 17:44:40 SchmittNAS emhttpd: device /dev/sdr has size zeroFeb 7 21:05:23 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Spinning up disk...Feb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Read Capacity(16) failed: Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=DRIVER_OKFeb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Sense Key : 0x2 [current] [descriptor]Feb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x22Feb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Read Capacity(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=DRIVER_OKFeb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Sense Key : 0x2 [current] [descriptor]Feb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x22Feb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] 0 512-byte logical blocks: (0 B/0 B)Feb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] 0-byte physical blocksFeb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Test WP failed, assume Write EnabledFeb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Asking for cache data failedFeb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Assuming drive cache: write throughFeb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Preferred minimum I/O size 4096 bytes not a multiple of physical block size (0 bytes)Feb 7 21:07:03 SchmittNAS kernel: sd 11:0:14:0: [sdr] Attached SCSI diskFeb 7 21:07:05 SchmittNAS emhttpd: device /dev/sdr has size zero schmittnas-diagnostics-20260208-1041.zip Edited February 8Feb 8 by Juscuz17

I don't know if that route would help because the server sees them, but I can't do anything but view logs. I can't even try to format them. All the buttons are grey.
