Started getting errors on one of my WD Black 1TB drives so as I had a spare (supposedly new) Segate drive sitting around, decide to replace it straight away. I am sure I had done before with no issues however this one was not to be.
I have a Dell R730XD with a flashed 710P Perc card to HBA. I put the failed drive offline, pulled it out and installed the new drive and hit replace drive and there was nothing there to replace it with. After trying for a while I went to the iDRAC and saw that the new drive was showing as Foreign rather than the Non-Raid as it should.
Only way I could get it to Non-Raid was to reboot and go into the BIOS mode and clear the drive (took 5 hours to clear it). Then it was Non-Raid and I could boot up TrueNAS and replace the drive.
Any ideas on how I could get the drive to Non-Raid faster? I am sure my first failed drive (long time ago) worked fine. It is almost as though the disk is formatted in a non-standard block size or something. I have two more of these disks and don't really want to go through the hassle again. Should be able to change from Raid to Non-Raid through the iDRAC but nothing this time.
