Some cards need a jumper during the flash (write access) and then pulled again for normal usage. Maybe your card needs it? https://www.servethehome.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IBM-M1215-LSI-SAS3008-HBA-jumper-on-and-off.jpg

@schlagbaum https://hddoracle.com/viewtopic.php?p=24028#p24028 In regards to the e6dump...but I'm out of ideas.

You don't need special vendor tool, you just need the correct binary file to flash. You could boot linux live version, there you can use fwupd, seachest/seaflash, hdparm. Or you can use FreeBSD live, there you have native camcontrol and also hdparm. All of them are universal, you just need the...

It won't burn your data, but treat it like it would and be prepared, so do a backup before anything.

HUS726040AL5214 is 4k disk, so try 1:1 https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/bounty-free-disks-if-you-can-figure-it-out-struggling-with-these-toshiba-px02smu080-800gb-sas-sed-ssds.41884/post-396788 I don't know about HP HBA, with LSI with IT-Firmware it works.

:confused: That's sad. 2x Micron 7400 here, running since 4 months, 2x Micron 7450 ~2 months. No problems, everything smooth but my first job was flashing last firmware and I gave them active cooling.

Ok, I have no idea how to proceed further. To 100% rule out the config and/or (not) nail down to the disks, testing with 22 other disks would be good, but I guess that's impossible. :(

1. / 2. Pls repeat the test with anything more near the physical sector size of a single disk and the blocksize of your pool and /dev/random. That said, 1x with /dev/random bs=4096 (no 'k'), 1x with bs=128k and 1x with bs=1M 3. Ok, expecting sequential write of 150MB/s for single disk would be...

1. dd is really bad to check disk performance. It can be used as a first check, but for any serious benching it's just the wrong tool. 2. You do R/W on the pool, you should do this on every single disk. 3. 2289816280 bytes/sec = 2,2GB/s can't be right. Only really big pools with many vdevs can...

More or less the same answer here from me: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/supermicro-sas3808-hba-firmware.41625/post-399671 Try sas2flash.efi -o -e 7 (erase mode 7 wipes everything from the card!) Shutdown fully after that (no warm reboot) and try to flash again. It should...

I know that the official AVAGO/Broadcom/LSI flash tool (DOS! .exe) from P7 could override ID-mismatch and also flash newer firmware, but this was for SAS2. Yours should be SAS3, I suggest getting the oldest package you can find, grab the flashtool and use it with the newest firmware pack. Some...

A too hot running HBA/SATA-Controller can also cause this and many re-reads/re-writes. But the disk itself looks ok, check SMART to be sure. Note: re-reads and re-writes from earlier/other server will stay in the log.

https://files.hddguru.com/download/Firmware%20updates/HGST/NetApp%20Branding/ NA05 there Instead of 512 bytes, you should use 4096. That is the correct physical block size for this drive. First you need to unlock the encryption state, but with that I have no experience how to do that.

I'm assuming he's just another reseller and it doesn't have to have been intentional. If he buys a large batch of used hard drives somewhere, he can't possibly test them all individually. The profit margin would be too low for that, unless he specializes in it and does refurbing properly or...
