Hi:

I appreciate help for the issue.
[EFAULT] Failed to wipe disk
this error was reported on two different disks during two separate attempts to create pool.
TrueNAS scale 22.02.4

Asus Prime B660M-A D4 motherboard

Thank you.

Brand new drives sometimes ship with an existing format. Very common is one large FAT32 partition. Also very common is one large NTFS partition. You'll need to use parted to whack any existing partitions and create a new GPT partition table.
