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 the controllers are set to "HBA-mode". They are only usable with a ''true'' HBA (or a Dell/HP controller flashed to the 3rd-party "IT mode" firmware).
# 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 [https:/ HP/www.dell.com/support/home/en-au/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=PJ9CD] firmware that would allow them to be used in generic systems.
