I build a new HGST Ultrastar He10 10TB drive into my machine. I have multible of these, and all show the same capacity (~1TB).

They were previously used in RAID setting where they showed correct sizes (10TB) but I planed to use just of of them as a HDD extension for my system.

Doing sudo lsblk I get:

sdd      8:48   0   1,1T  0 disk                                    │
└─sdd1   8:49   0   1,1T  0 part

so only 1.1TB of space.

Same happens when I do check it with GParted.

Any ideas why I dont get the full 10TB on all those drives?

Edit:

Solution 1:

Sounds like whatever controller you’re using isn’t up to the task. With 512 byte LBAs and a 32-bit number of them, you can address at most ~2.2 TB.

As per the extended drive documentation, the real sector count is 19,532,873,728. Compared with what fdisk reports:

 32   28   24   20   16   12    8    4    0
  v    v    v    v    v    v    v    v    v
    1000 1100 0100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 = 2,353,004,544
100 1000 1100 0100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 = 19,532,873,728

Try with a better disk controller.
