Hey everyone,

I recently purchased 6 22tb SAS drives. All, but 1 of them show up as incompatible according to 3 different HBAs. All HBAs are flashed to IT mode. All 6 drives normally appear in the operating system, but only one of them appears with a file size of 22tb, the rest show 0 bytes and cannot be formatted or initialized. The 6 drives all came in one shipment, they are the same model number, and were even all manufactured on the same day according to the labels, they also run the same firmware.

Is there any way I can save these 5 drives or should I consider them a total loss?
