I bought 3 refurbished HGST He8 4Kn drives (Model HUH728080ALN601) from eBay recently to replace my failing drives, which are of model HUH728080ALN600. However, I cannot get them working in either Windows (Server 2016) or Ubuntu (18.04 LTS):
- Windows disk management can see them but cannot bring them online; Ubuntu GNome disks can see them but cannot create partition on them
- HD Sentinel on Windows and GSmartCTL on Ubuntu can see full SMART data; Short and extended self-test passed
- Diskpart on windows cannot see them; so was fdisk on Ubuntu
- sg3_utils gave similar results on Windows and Ubuntu:
Can someone help me troubleshoot and get those disks working? I really don't want to return the disks to the seller because I need to replace my failing disks asap.
