4K Sector Support on T320
I have a T320 with Perc H310. I bought two SAS 6TB Seagate T6000NM0014 and have discovered that due to the 4K sector size the drives are not supported.
Is there any card that I can replace the Perc H310 with that would support the drives?
Otherwise I guess I have two unused drives I need to sell.

Kjohnston8,
The issue you are having is due the fact that 4K sector hard-disk drives are not supported on controllers (including Software RAID controllers) prior to Perc 9 (13th gen) hardware controllers. If the 4K sector drive is connected to a hardware controller prior to the Perc 9, the 4K sector hard-disk drive is displayed as Unsupported. So with the server being a 12th generation it wouldn't be able to support the 4k sector hard drives you have.
Let me know if this helps.
