Toshiba PX05SRB192 - 512 format?

[masterchief07]

Scooped a few of these SAS SSD's off eBay and dropped them into an HP Proliant DL360 G10 but they are reporting as failed because they are not 512 byte formatted. Is there a recommended way to format them properly? Or is this something bound to the drive's firmware?

Thank you in advance!

I'm an idiot. Did not see the pinned thread. Will try that now.

FW: RC4F. I thought the "HPDX" version was all in HPE.

I did get the drives to format via an HBA and have them in a RAID10 array but performance seems to be lacking. You you think the drive firmware could be the issue? Any ideas where to get the proper, latest HP firmware for these drives?
