I just received a batch of 10x HP branded HUSMM8040ASS204 SSDs. HP part is 725862-002 HSSC0400S5xnNMLC. I have them connected to my Dell H330 in HBA mode, but only 3 of them will show up in the OS. When I look in the controller setup utility, 1x shows as "Ready", 3x shows as "Non-RAID", and 6x shows as "blocked". Some of them are 512B sectors while some are 520B sectors. I know i can reformat the 520B to 512B and I've seen the sticky thread in this section about that topic. This is fine for the 3 that I can see in the OS (which i believe are the ones showing as "non-RAID" in the H330 controller), but for the other 7, how can I even reformat them when they are in "blocked" state by the controller?
would appreciate any suggestions...
