Hi all,
I used the SeaChest-Software on Linux system to fastformat from 512 to 4kn on a new Seagate Exos X16 10TB HDD. The topic was working for 2v4 brand new HDDs.
But now 2 HDD seem to be fully broken.
Following commands I used:
512 and 4096 was reported
Change was reported successfully, I waited some time until no more activities on the HDD an rebooted the system. Tested it also with the SeaChest_utilities, same effect on one of the other HDDs.
After that the HDD seem to be nor longer accessable. Lost MBR and GPT, gdisk is reporting several failures:
Any idea how to fix it? Is a new or re-format possible?

Warning! This will probably do weird things if you've converted an MBR to

Aborting write of new partition table.

Problem: The CRC for the main partition table is invalid. This table may be
corrupt. Consider loading the backup partition table ('c' on the recovery &
transformation menu). This report may be a false alarm if you've already
corrected other problems.
Caution: The CRC for the backup partition table is invalid. This table may
be corrupt. This program will automatically create a new backup partition
table when you save your partitions.

Identified 3 problems!
Any idea how to fix it? Is a new or re-format possible?
