Are branded used HDDs compatible with Unraid? e.g. Dell (Seagate) or HP (HGST)

520-byte format

Although this is more common on SAS drives, it is still a possibility on SATA drives.

Beyond explicit disclosure by the re-seller, it could be indicated in a Model #.

In many cases, but not all, there are tools available to re-format such drives.

(It is not a common issue ... so ... just a heads-up)
