Hi All,
Just bought 2 Seagate Exos X16 10TB SAS drives for my home server running through an LSI 9300 16i HBA.
I flashed the correct firmware onto the 9300, as I want to create a ZFS pool and need IT mode. It seems to be working correctly, it is detected in proxmox and I can map the resource. However, the drives are showing up as 0B in lsblk, and I am unable to find where else they would be. I can lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,MODEL and see:
NAME SIZE MODEL
sda 0B ST10000NM002G
sdb 0B ST10000NM002G
Smart CTL seems to be gltiching, makes me think hardware issue.
sda:
=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===

Revision: E0C3
Compliance: SPC-5
LU is fully provisioned

Form Factor: 3.5 inches
Device type: disk
Transport protocol: SAS (SPL-4)
Local Time is: Tue Dec 23 16:27:22 2025 CST
device is NOT READY (e.g. spun down, busy)
SMART support is: Unavailable - device lacks SMART capability.
Read Cache is: Unavailable
Writeback Cache is: Unavailable
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
Current Drive Temperature: 0 C
Drive Trip Temperature: 0 C
Read defect list: asked for grown list but didn't get it
Error Counter logging not supported
Device does not support Self Test logging
Device does not support Background scan results logging
Device does not support General statistics and performance logging
I tried using SeaChest (seagates recovery software) to both make sure the firmware is ok and format the drive properly. However I got "Drive not ready" error on almost every command I ran. Seems to be some sort of OEM lock, but I am not 100% sure. I also tried the drives/controller on my main pc, same situation.
Any ideas? Faulty drives? Did I screw something up?
