These disks have three primary issues:
# They are formatted with 520-byte sectors. This prevents them from working with Dell PERC and HP Smart Array controllers, even when
# They have Hitachi Vantara firmware [https://www.reddit.com/r/homelabsales/comments/qazb88/pccan_huc101212css600_12tb_10k_sas_6g_25_drives/hh6frb5/] that locks them to Hitachi VSP systems and doesn't let them work with normal servers.
# They have a lock preventing them from being reflashed with the Dell / HP firmware that would allow them to be used in generic systems.
