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˜

Of course we can blame them. There's a ton of great help available, but perhaps they're like you, and their ego is so fragile that they can't be troubled to scroll past a few trolls to find the perfect answers.

But I think we're all used to dealing with trolls. Everyone knows how to ignore the trolls. I think the bigger problem is that people are afraid to show ignorance, even if they definitely are ignorant, like OP was here. Imagine that, you don't want to look foolish on the internet in front of people who don't know who you are and never will, so you turn to a solution that doesn't work and actually has the potential to ruin the hardware you bought... So yeah, that's strange, that's not rational, we can give psychological explanations, but none of them make the person in question appear reasonable.
