Well I saved almost 50% on these drives all new <100h work so I can afford a couple raid controllers for what I saved ;)
Thanks for the help.

Hi @DavidXanatos,
Can you provide the full verbose output?
The command will be something like this
SeaChest_Format_x64_windows_R.exe -d arc:0:0:0 --formatUnit 512 --fastFormat 1 --confirm this-will-erase-data -v4 > verbose.txt
Then attach that output verbose file so I can look at it and figure out which command is failing in the process.

Mode Select 10 returning: OS PASSTHROUGH FAILURE

Thanks for the verbose info.
The mode select 10 command is what sets the blocksize at the end, and the data all looks correct, but the RAID API being used returned an error, so I don't see if the drive responded with any specific error (Which is why it returned OS_PASSTHROUGH_FAILURE).
It is possible that the RAID blocked the command, but it doesn't give us that information.
Since you configured the drive as a passthrough device, does it show up in the -s output with a handle beginning with PD? Or does it only show with the arc:0:0:0 handle? If it shows with PD?, can you also try it with that handle?
This also seems similar to #21 who also tried this on an Adaptec controller from Windows, and ended up having it work in Linux. The USB boot key should work and I believe it will find this device with a /dev/sg? handle if you try that.

commented on June 24, 2024
no it only shows arc, the be exact I did not configure anything, the controller default is to just pass the disk through unless its initialized.
And the device manager detects the drive properly i.e. it shows it as what it is a not some generic raid device like raid volumes are shown.
It is not showed with a PD? handle though :/
I could try one of the on board SAS ports, but IIRC those are quite old and quite probably don't support 4k sector drives, or is that irrelevant when only trying to send a few commands, I could configure those ports to AICH so no raid or anything.
Should I try that? before I try linux...

commented on June 24, 2024
I have not used an old SAS controller in a while, but to the best of my knowledge it should not care as long as the OS supports the 4k size. I would give it a try.
The 4k sector size affects only read and write commands. Even XP had some 4k drive support as that is what USB drives emulated to get past the 2TB limit back then. So these other commands should not be affected.
I know some RAID controllers can be picky about what they allow or do not allow, but it could still be a weird thing from the drive...I do not know since the API did not get the raw drive response in the sense data which could help me figure it out better.
If you switch it and still do not see them show up, can you share what you do see in the -s output?
After that the next best thing I can recommend is trying Linux to see if it is able to communicate better. The SeaChest package on seagate.com includes a exe to write a Linux to a USB that can be booted and should come up and dump a list of what drives were found in the system. All SeaChest commands will be available from that command line too and the only major difference should be the device handle that is used.

commented on June 24, 2024
the onboard controller does not seam to see the drive at all :(
I'll try the linux option now , you mean this tool right: SeaChestUtilities\USB boot maker..

@vonericsen does the screenshot tells you something helpful?

commented on June 24, 2024
Thanks for the output.
The drive response is saying it does not like the request to change to a 512B sector.
I don't know why though.
I'll see if I can figure out who might know why that is happening.
For a long time drives were sold as either 512 or 4k logical sector size and you couldn't switch between them, then fast format was developed to allow this.
This drive does not seem too old, so it might be some other unique firmware configuration or something else may be going on.

DavidXanatos
commented on June 24, 2024
The drive is IBM labeled so perhaps they have some customization in the firmware :(
It would be great if the issue could be resolved.
But I think I'll just take that as a hint to stock up on one or two more modern RAID controller's that can handle 4k, that has much better performance then emulated anyways.

Hi @DavidXanatos,
I asked one of the firmware team leads about this and this IBM firmware is locked to 4k sector sizes on this product. I do not know if other products with IBM firmware have this same limitation or not.
Standard OEM drives do not have these limitations since they are not dictated by specific customer requirements and contracts.
Sorry for the sad news!

vonericsen
commented on June 24, 2024
That sounds like a good deal! 👍
I'm going to add an additional warning to the "showSupportedFormats" output to mention that other customer firmwares may have additional restrictions on what sector sizes are allowed. Still working out the details on that messaging, but it will roll into the next update to these tools.
