      <title>Compatibility Issue with ST12000VN0008 on Promise A6120 (SR1.5)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;I am currently using a Seagate IronWolf 12TB drive (Model:&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;ST12000VN0008&lt;/strong&gt;) with a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Promise A6120&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;system, running&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;firmware SR1.5&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;I would like to report that:&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;The drive&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;is not being detected properly&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;under CLI command&amp;nbsp;&lt;code&gt;phydrv -v&lt;/code&gt;&amp;nbsp;or during initialization.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;I have confirmed with Seagate that the drive's&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;firmware is up to date&lt;/strong&gt;, and it uses a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;standard SATA interface&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;under the IronWolf NAS line.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;However, this model is&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not explicitly listed&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the SR1.5 compatibility list.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;Given that IronWolf drives are generally supported, and similar models function properly, I would like to know:&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;ol&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;Does SR1.5&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;officially support ST12000VN0008&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;drives, even if not listed?&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;Is there any known&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;workaround or patch&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to allow detection of this drive on the A6120?&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;Are there&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;future firmware updates planned&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;that will add support for this drive model?&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/ol&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;Thank you for your help in resolving this compatibility issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
