Did I just brick my SAS drive?

I was trying to make a pool with the other 5 drives and this one kept giving errors. As a completer beginner I turned to gpt.....

What can I do? Is that drive bricked for good?

Don't clown on me, I understand my mistake in running shell scripts from Ai...

EMPTY DRIVES NO DATA

The initial error was:

Edit: sde and SDA are the same drive, name just changed for some reason And also I know it was 100% my fault and preventable ๐Ÿ˜ž

**Edit: ** from LM22, output of sudo sg_format -vv /dev/sda (broken link)

BIG EDIT:

For people that can help (btw, thx a lot), some more relevant info:

Exact drive model: SEAGATE ST4000NM0023 XMGG

HBA model and firmware: lspci | grep -i raid 00:17.0 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation SATA Controller [RAID mode] Its an LSI card Bought it here

Kernel version / distro: I was using Truenas when I formatted it. Now trouble shooting on other PC got (6.8.0-38-generic), Linux Mint 22

Whether the controller supports DIF/DIX (T10 PI): output of lspci -vv (broken link)

Whether other identical drives still work in the same slot/cable: yes all the other 5 drives worked when i set up a RAIDZ2 and a couple of them are exact same model of HDD

COMMANDS This is what I got for each command: (broken link)

Solved by y0din! Thank you soo much!

Thanks for all the help ๐Ÿ˜

Asking for help online just gets you a "lol, RTFM, noob!"

Depends heavily on what place you ask for help in. There are plenty of spaces explicitly meant for community tech support. In OPs case, I'll say the title doesn't help and asking an LLM for advice on a topic you're unfamiliar with (and not second-guessing the commands you paste into the terminal) is such a bad idea that it really can't be understated. I regularly catch some of my colleagues making AI-assisted mistakes and they're professionals who genuinely know better. This shit shouldn't ever be recommended as a learning tool for beginners without some kind of supervision or guard rails to ensure you're not being gaslit.
