I have just acquired 4 HGST HUH721008AL4200 8TB Ultrastar He10 drives to use with an LSI 2308 SAS controller in an HP Z820 workstation. While trying to configure them for raid-0 (in LSI Setup) these drives come up as "WRNG TYP" (wrong type). They appear in windows (Win7pro64) disc management normally as individual drives, but I am unable to make them into an array in the LSI. If they aren't useable under LSI raid control I will need to return them. The interface is SAS 6gb. They replace 4 4TB Seagates (1 failed). The new HGSTs are SAS 12gb, supposedly retor compatible to 6gb. Any insight appreciated.
