I have successfully setup a HP Z840 workstation running Monterey 12.6 using OC 084. But I run into a weird issue trying to use a Sandisk 1TB SSD drive on the regular Sata (6Gb/s) port: the drive can not be erased/initialized (see attached screen shot). The drive was previously cleaned (i.e. no partitions/no data exist) before placed on this machine. 

 

I've concluded that the problem is not the drive itself, since it runs perfectly fine on another system (Z440/Monterey, the little brother of Z840, same C612 chip/Sata port, single CPU instead of dual CPUs). It also runs fine if attached to the SAS ports on the same Z840 unit. Now, another 1TB Samsung Evo 840 drive, also runs OK without any issue.

 

If I initialize the drive on the Z440/Monterey and bring the drive over to the Z840, the drive is still reported as un-initialized. So it seems to be specific to the Z840, but I couldn't figure out why and a fix, as both Z440 and Z820 has identical Sata ports.

 

The device-id for the regular Sata port is (8086, 8d02). The other sSata port (not used) is (8086, 8d62). Monterey picked them up as "generic AHCI Controller, 6Gb/s, AHCI 1.30 Supported". See 2nd attached screen shot (using the same Sandisk drive, fully working on the Z440).

 

Anyone has any idea what was going one here? Do I miss a specific kext, similar to "CtlnaAHCIPort.kext"?

 

Thanks!

Have you solved this problem?

I encountered the same issue when installing a WD 1T hard drive on Z840. It can be formatted normally on my Z800 Big Sur and Z840 Windows 10, but it doesn't work on Ventura anymore.

Yes, my system's working from Macos Momtery to SeQuoia beta3.

Have to format(GUID partition) in widows 11 with minitool partition wizard?
