I have a PowerEdge R730 with an HBA 330 Mini and 8x 4TB Seagate ST4000NM0023 SAS drives.

I have got everything update to the latest versions from the support website.
BIOS 2.13.0
iDRAC w/ LCC 2.82.82.82 
Dell HBA330 Mini (Embedded) 16.17.01.00 

It boots fine without any of the drives connected, but if I connect any one of them I get stuck at Initializing Firmware Interfaces, I have let it sit on that for a few hours but it never progresses.

 

I've followed essentially every suggestions I can find.

Unplug it and hold the power button to clear motherboard cache

Disable collecting system information

Disable the PCI slots for boot driver

It has an Avago utility menu, I've also set that to OS only
