I bought 8 2tb drives off eBay, they had type 2 protection on them so I sg_format -v -F /dev/sdX and removed the protection on all the drives.
They all show up in Proxmox and I can make a ZFS pool and write to the pool without any issues.

During the sg-format of /dev/sdd, the power blinked out for a second. The T610 was on my bench top while I setup the machine and was not on battery backup. :(

After booting the machine back up and restarting the sg_format on that drive, the HDD light will blink on during self test and when read/write ops are happening but it will not stay on when idle like the other 7 drives.

Everything else seems ok. Should I keep investigating or just ignore it.

This is the drive in question, /dev/sdd.
Below this code block is another drive from the 8 I bought that is working properly, /dev/sde

Code:
