Is the HUH72808CLAR8000 a third-party/non-generic HGST drive? Is there a new firmware for it?
I'm having issues running a SMART long test against this drive and get this error:

Long (extended) offline self test failed [unsupported field in scsi command]

Ok, help a guy out. I'm pretty nuub at most of this. I got a Windows 10 machine with a LSI 9361-8i in raid mode. Running raid 6. I got a 12 bay expander. all sas 3. I just bought some Ebay hdd's. 4tb sas. HGST724040ALS640 on all 3. They all three come up unconfigured bad (unsupported) in the megaraid manager. I went to HDD Firmware Downloads. PC-3000 Support Downloads. Data recovery and HDD repair tools and found 4 new firmware zips for this model hdd. I got all 4. I do not know how to flash the firmware to the drive using Windows 10 with my current setup. Most everything I see posted is Linux and I'm lost at linux. If you think flashing them will restore them to functionality, walk me through if ya can.

Can anyone help with (HUC101212CSS600) Recently I got hands-on 8x 1.2TB hard drives from HGST (HUC101212CSS600), they were in 520 Logical block sizes, and I have formatted them into 512 sectors but I cannot create any of the pools out of them because whenever I try to create a pool it `Error: Input/output error during write on /dev/sd*". I have already gone over the old archived topic, but looks like I don’t have any luck with it. (Also I am super new to TrueNas and it basics)

when I am running the hugo
Code: 
hugo update -g /dev/sda -f /tmp/CPGNA469.bin
I am getting
Code: 
Attempting to update Firmware on 1 Devices...

Attempting retry 1 of 2 for this device: L0G34NLG

Error updating Firmware on device: L0G34NLG
    Reason: Device failed to update firmware.

I'm looking to buy some new 6TB HGST drives and the vendor doesn't know if they are firmware locked. Is there any way to tell just by looking at the hdd label or part number?

Attached is a picture of the drive

They’re advertised as brand new and seller confirmed they’re new. If when they get here they have tons of hours, I’ll return them.

You'll return them because they run hot as hell, and sas hdd with 50k hours is usually as good as new

this may be a dumb question, but after having formatted the drives to 512b sectors using sg_format, is it necessary to run badblocks to determine if some sectors are gone? isn't the formatting process checking that and re-assigning bad sectors as it goes?
