I did a lot of googling, tbh. I've re-uploaded to the internet archive. Hopefully it stays up. Windows Linux Source Linux (RPM)

I ended up discovering that my problem was a faulty backplane. After removing and re-seating everything, I am now able to access and use my drives. I probably won't update the firmware, as the folks from micromarkllc had already flashed to OEM. Highly recommend them, btw, excellent customer service.

Confirmed, I am on 512 block size. I obtained a second raid controller that is allowing me greater access to the drives. Upon closer inspection, however, I can't tell if it's a Broadcom 9340-8i, a Avago LSI 9341-8i, or Broadcom SAS9340-8i. Or perhaps those are all the same? This is the eBay listing.

Looks like sg_format fails and returns: bad field in MODE SENSE (10) [mode_page 1 not supported?] Meanwhile, using the same command with a -v flag returns: sudo sg_format -v --format --size=512 /dev/sgx LSI 9750-8i DISK 5.12 peripheral_type: disk [0x0] PROTECT=0 inquiry...

I’m fairly certain I am on 512 block size. With the Niagara tool, I was able to format the drives, even though it doesn’t appear I can do much else. Edit: Now Niagara tool is not allowing me to format, so maybe it didn't work. I will continue to investigate.

Also looking for firmware; this isn't recognized in my DL385 Gen10 w/ a HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 controller. Seems to be recognized by my 3ware 9750-8i. I appear to be running B204.
