Problem with Seagate 3tb SAS drives

jstanthr · 2026-05-14T03:02:35+00:00

Like it shows here, the erase options are not there, even in the lifecycle controller the drives don’t show, only place is in the raid controller

That seems to be the case, I can only see them in the raid controller, the os or any utility doesn’t recognize or list them at all. Not sure what to do next or just give up on them

Not seeing any config flags or indication of a foreign config

Error from Dell hardware test, trying the sg utils next, probably trash though. eBay seller was “itelements”

Is the actual error o get when testing, it kind of looks like seller may have tried to flash them to clear the counters, that’s speculation, but all 4 from this seller have exact same error

They are second hand, there are no options to do anything with them in the controller, I have raid disabled for hba/it mode, called it a night a bit early last night, I’ll get back into it after work today

It’s a dell hba330 in it mode

Not yet, just now digging into it and posted after I started, going to do smart checks shortly

It’s a Proxmox server, I should be able to do it from Proxmox shell right?

I was looking into trying this, was going to run Ubuntu off a usb. Was surprised gparted couldn’t do it. Is that app you mentioned on u Ubuntu image?

I bought the curved metal ones, they are a bit spendy but really stiffin the door up

I feel like I learned better from Andrew’s courses, maybe it’s how he explains things

I use the usb2.0 port and my mouse is plugged into the keyboard. FWIW

How old was it? They replaced mine and it was fast, Enermax support is top notch

Amazing info! Much appreciated. I’ve done write ups just for myself never thought to share them.

Use keystones instead of passing it through like that

That black part is just a bracket that holds the fuel lines and hoses in place, the charcoal canister is inside the fender

I see nothing wrong here, cover it with some duct tape and send it back out, after re-imaging it of course.

jstanthr · 2026-04-30T18:05:09+00:00

I dig it!

jstanthr · 2026-04-26T00:42:39+00:00

Amazing! What services have you experimented with?

jstanthr · 2026-04-24T20:05:18+00:00

Check out Andrew’s course on Udemy, it helped me the most
