I bought 4x Western Digital Elements Desktop 16TB Hub Drives ( WDBWLG0160HBK-EESN ) I removed the HDDs from the hub and I've added them to my 4x HP Blade Servers (1 drive in each server). I went into the boot setup (F10 - Intelligent Provisioning) and configured them as a RAID 0. I then booted into my Linux Desktop 20.04.3 LTS environment and proceeded to the Disk Utility app to add the drive. I can see the 16TB drives are there but I can't do anything with them.
It shows 16TB drive for each of them, with 16TB free unallocated space but when I try to add a partition, I get the following error:
Error creating partition on /dev/sdk: Failed to read partition table on device '/dev/sdk' (Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sdk) (udisks-error-quark, 0)
Any ideas why this might be happening?
It's definitely not a faulty drive as I've got 4 of them and all 4 are displaying the same error.
