High-Level Question:
I purchased 10x used NetApp HGST 10K SAS drives which contain locked firmware; I would appreciate your assistance getting these to work. Does anyone know where to find firmware to use the drive in a "normal" configuration? The drives came with 520b sectors, and I've already formatted to 512 using sg_format. I've carefully studied the forums and spent days researching.
Hardware Overview:
Drive Information:
HGST NetApp HUC109090CSS600 900GB 2.5" SAS
sginfo readout:
Device Type 0
Vendor: SE_HGST
Product: DKR5D-J900SS
Revision level: B8B8
SAS HBA Card:
3x Dell H310, crossflashed to IT mode. Running P19.
Server:
HP dl380 Gen9
All HGST drives connected to Dell H310.
Debian Linux OS
What I've Tried Thus Far:
1. sg_format --format --size=512 /dev/sg2 -v
Result: Error occurred, would not begin formatting
2. sg_format --format --size=512 --six -v /dev/sg2
Result: Appeared to complete the format. Upon reboot, 'fdisk -l' showed the drives.
Could not write any information to the drives, including creation of any partition table.

Conclusion. I would welcome your input on how to get these drive to work (firmware flash or otherwise). I appreciate your time.
