Hvor mange og til hvilken pris?I have some that I might sell, but I am located in Norway
-Jannis
Since I've paid 25% tax on these, the price will be to high for EU I guess.no norway bonus here
any numbers ? psc ? price ?
They are great, I just have way to many spinners at the moment...
Heh, I like where this has ended up going. I could 16-24 too .

I just thought i'd add my two sense in here, we have a few EMC shelves around full of 900GB drives, and we wanted to re use them with windows. I can confirm that using this command
sg_format.exe --format --size=512 --six -v PD1
does work in HP Gen 8 server. I tried them both as single drive RAID 0 and two drives RAID 1. I can also see the drives in the EMC Shelf and attached directly to the server, using LSI SAS card. but the real thing i wanted to mention, is the time it takes to format a 900 GB drive, and i have 5 shelves i think, with 24 drives per shelf, it would take a month. So, if you are using windows, and the sg_format.exe, here is a much faster way to do it
sg_format.exe --format --size=512 --six -v PD1

- scan the drives to get the PD numbers: sg_scan.exe -s
- format using powershell jobs and do them all in tandem: (1..25) | %{ Start-Job -ScriptBlock { C:\sg_format.exe --format --size=512 --six -v "PD$($args[0])" } -ArgumentList $_ }
- You can then check the status with Get-Job. There is no output, but this will make it go WAY faster!
Totally agree. I did mine under Linux and formatted all of them in parallel. There is probably a limit depending on the number of sas channels per drive.
This works flawlessly if needed to be read by windows/linux. Hoewer using few of these in a logical drive works even if drives are formatted with 528bytes sector size. Great info. Thank you for sharing.
I have similar HUC106060css60 disks with different revisions.
and i try all options to format this . but no result anyway.
every drive formatted without errors, but i cannot create partition on it.
sg_readcap gives prot_en=0, p_type=0, p_i_exponent=0,
also all drives doesn't have specific marks like NETAPP etc.
btw i have 1068e LSI card, in IT mode and centos 7.
any ideas to go?
upd: when i try to write to "formatted" disk by sg_dd - have a error message code - ASC=81 ASCQ=00
in HGST book this mean " Vendor Unique - Internal Logic Error F719 Recovered Abort immediate error or F75B Too many sectors "

hice idea, i can try it, but i don't understand how controller type may influence to so simple operation as format... in this case controller - just a sender one string of command....
