After I got 3 more of the SSDs (which turned out to be untouched Hitachi SSDs, not 3PARs, and therefore were standard 512 byte drives), I took down the SAN to experiment a bit more. In case anyone sees this later, I wanted to add my own resolution. I'm using it as a ZIL, so I don't really care about the size, but I want to do a couple more of these, and it'd be nice to have them all the same size

I figure I'd post this here for others getting ready to deal with the SSDs, and if they know a way to fix the above, that'd be great too. I figure there's an academic thing I need to do to fix it, but I'm not terribly sure what Perhaps that odd sectoring is why formatting it straight as 4K didn't work (then again, it might have to be 512 byte sectors. As such my 100GB drive is now as 12GB drive. In my brilliance, I didn't check to see what the number of cylinders was before. But, one thing I noticed is that the drive is now showing much fewer sectors, like I've essentially short-stroked it. About 520MB/s read / write with almost any size file. I couldn't write anything to it because it would announce an alignment issue in linux. Then I noticed that it was a reported 4K Sector size, so I thought "why not" and used sg_utils to put it to 4096.

I followed the sg_utils post on How to reformat HDD & SSD to 512B Sector Size to get it back to 512. That stated, because it was an HP spare, it had 520 byte sectors, not 512. I got an HP Spare with almost no wear (1.3TB write, 4TB read).

Here’s how I flashed the H310:ġ) Create a USB boot disk (I used Rufus, Fat32, FreeDOS).Ģ) Download this zip file: 3) Extract and place on boot disk (I created a folder called LSI for it on my boot disk)Ĥ) Boot using boot disk, change dir to LSI and run: Before flashing, it would behave just like the embedded raid 6i raid controller. I purchased a Dell H310 off ebay and had to flash it to be able to do anything with the drives. While I could see the drives in Ctrl-R, I couldn’t do anything with them – no hot spare, no raid, nothing. I had a Dell 2950 rack server in my lab with a Perc 6i Raid controller. I purchased a few of the Hitachi HUS156060VLS600 formatted for NetApp with a 520 sector size. I’ve read through these 4 pages about 20 times.
