Well i purchased 13x HUS726060AL4214 ( HGST Ultrastar 7K6000 ) drives for a Dell server w/ H700p controller and missed the 512e/512n/4kn memos. So now i got two options as I see it...
1. Figure it out...
2. Sell them on eBay or trade them? and get 512e drives.
1. Figuring it out...
I upgraded bios, firmware, etc for everything, including the drives which i thought would have fixed it.
HGST KK43 for model number(s) HUS726060AL5214 and HUS726060AL4214. | Driver Details | Dell Canada
Even Dells site list the firmware on the R720 server support pages and got the same results with the H710p controllers too.
I'm thinking it may not be possible, but the below is one link i found related to a possible solution?

In my server the controller shows them as status blocked and at just short of 700Gb ea.
HDD Firmware Downloads. PC-3000 Support Downloads. Data recovery and HDD repair tools
The above link contains some software i may try tonight, but think my 2nd problem will be my raid controller will interfere in talking directly to the drives as if it was connected via HBA.
Am i even headed towards light at the end of the tunnel for option #1?
Should i just move to option #2? Anyone want to buy or trade? I have 13x Dell 0F22902 / HUS726060AL4214 drives only out of the packages to find out they don't work.
