Just a wild guess, shot in the dark here, but have you tried any of the downloadable Seagate tools to reflash/low level format the repurposed PD's?
Ahhh, yes - kind of.
I went searching Seagates site using the specific model number(s) of the drives I have; and although I found the page for the drive there were no firmware updates/downgrades/redos available.
That said, I didn't widen my search any further; so I'm going to go back and have a look for perhaps something more generic.
However, even if I find something - I'm not entirely sure how I would be able to go about applying it.
The RAID card can see the drives; but can't do anything with them. The megacli/storcli tools look like like they might be able to. :/
