Hey There,
I have a 3TB WDC WD30EZRX-00DC0B0 drive connected to the the internal SATA 6Gb/s connector which I believe is hosted by the Marvell 88SE9172 chip on the motherboard. I'm running El Capitan with 10.11.3 and the drive is failing to format with Disk Utility.
Media-iMac:~ homer$ diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ Software /dev/disk6
Started erase on disk6
Unmounting disk
Creating the partition map
Waiting for the disks to reappear
Formatting disk6s2 as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with name Software
newfs_hfs: WriteBuffer: pwrite(3, 0x10c01a000, 1048576, 306192384):
Input/output error
newfs_hfs: write (sector 598032): Invalid argument
Mounting disk
Could not mount disk6s2 with name (null) after erase
Error: -69832: File system formatter failed
Anyone know why this may be happening?
