Drive is plugged into amobo usb-3 port via a startech USB3S2SAT3CB
ADAPTER CABLE.
f3probe took over 16 seconds, but says it the real thing:

Probe finished, recovering blocks... Done
Good news: The device `/dev/sdc' is the real thing
Device geometry:
*Usable* size: 3.64 TB (7814037168 blocks)
Announced size: 3.64 TB (7814037168 blocks)
Module: 4.00 TB (2^42 Bytes)
Approximate cache size: 0.00 Byte (0 blocks), need-reset=no
Physical block size: 512.00 Byte (2^9 Bytes)
Probe time: 16.04s
2nd drive is a CC of first. So in hex, those two should yield 7.28T of
storage..
I have made 1 full partiton om each one, a labeled those partitions as
SiPwr_0 and SiPwr_1
I have not attempted to do anything else until the hdwe is fully
assembled. My only question it will those partition names survive
lvcreating an 11T lvm out of these and 2 more 2T gigastones.
Thanks for any advice since I have not dealt with an lvm in about 15+
years trying it once when it first came out with a high disaster rating
then. This time the experiment will be on something expendable in its
early days.
Thank you all.
Take care, stay warm and well.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
