i just added some ssds to grow our ceph,
we bought two bulks of sas ssds
both connected to 3008lsi on it mode

hdd is found on lshw
Code:
 *-disk:4
       description: SCSI Disk
       product: ARFX7680S5xnNTRI
       vendor: SAMSUNG
       physical id: 0.4.0
       bus info: scsi@2:0.4.0
       logical name: /dev/sdh
       version: 3P00
       serial: XXXXXXXXXX
       configuration: ansiversion=7 logicalsectorsize=512 sectorsize=4160

other drives have 4096 sector size? can it be the issue?

i cannot see the drive in fdisk -l
