When using the built in Synology "Secure Erase" on ALL of my drives (6x WD30EFRX and 1x ST3000DM01) , after encountering several filesystem errors, to start with clean wiped drives, I was trying to create a new volume out of the erased drives:
Operation failed.
What I found out is that synology drive erase locks the drives.
So I used Putty for a SSH connection
showed me a list of the disks available
gave back the following
Comparing the master password revision codes of the erased drive to a non-erased drive (same model), the code is the same and probably still factory default. Searching other forums reveal several common ATA factory passwords for the drives

This worked for the WD drives. So they are working again as intended.
For the Seagate drive:
The Default Password should be Seatate + 25 Space (Pressing the Space Bar 25 times)
For whatever reasons that is not working.
HDD UNLOCK costs Money and the Trial does not Support my hd Controller (or I am to stupid getting this to work)
Same with A*FF Repair Station and MHDD.
Victoria isn't working either (couldn't get the Software to work in PIO mode)
<Will try this evening if changing the BIOS Settings from AHCI to IDE / Legacy changes anything>
Any other ideas that I could try this evening?
@Chuckleb: As I have noticed in your cleaning out thread: you happen to have a Seagate Barracuda 3TB ST3000DM001:
could you do a
and post the Master Password Revision code?
so I can check if the master Password should work or not? That would be really great.

Code:
cat /proc/diskstats
Code:
hdparm -I /dev/sd<insert drive letter (sda, sdb etc)>
Code:
Security:
Master password revision code = 65534
supported
enabled
locked
not frozen
not expired: security count
supported: enhanced erase
Security level high

Code:
hdparm --security-disable synology /dev/sda
Code:
hdparm --user-master m --security-unlock WDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCW /dev/sd<insert drive letter (sda, sdb etc)>
