Late to the party here but my initial schoolboy error was not opening my cmd prompt with administrator rights…
Also I could not get it to work on a HP Z840 running Windows 11, but another identical PC running Windows 10 does work so gave up trying to track down the issue since I know it works and just extends the time to get through 24 drives to 4 a day…

I'd say next step is to look into flashing the firmware to another flavor. There's a thread on her somewhere dedicated to this topic. It could also be a vendor locked drive in which case we're pissing in the wind.
you need to post here what commands you have already tried. you are not helping us much

I have good news I have Seagate netapp working and format from 520 to 512.
But another model ibm Seagate can’t change scoter from 528 to 512 can help me for this
Thank you

tried 4096 instead of 512?
also try the --six in the command line
sg_format --format --size=512 --six -v pd1
