Well, wasn't really a call above duty just I got investigating and
discovered the drive was alive and started testing with the assumption
it was bad trying to prove it otherwise... Well, it's alive! (From
everything I can determine)
The only thing I can say is from the RAID BIOS menu, I did start a
'low level format' on the drive, then tried the other things. Maybe that
might have made a difference.
Anyhow, I'm bagging up the drive, will have it Tuesday.
