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)

As I understand Protect=1 should be 0, but I have went over and over again with hard drive reformatting that I am not sure if it even does anything to it. I did not lost any connections while I was formating it so I am sure I gone 100% on it.

The other thing that the author mentions in the article is that there is an option to do custom firmware on the HDD via HDDGuru website. I got the HUGO working, but I don’t clearly understand how to run it. In addition, I have seen my drive on HDDGuru but I have had no luck how correctly getting the file to HDD, so it would be helpful to give me some guides on how to reformat those drives.
Thanks
