In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock's VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you how to change the LBA sector size of storage media to make it compatible with VMware vSphere Hypervisor ESXi 7.0 and ESXi 8.0.
Only an LBA sector size of 512 bytes is compatible with VMware vSphere Hypervisor ESXi 7.0 and ESXi 8.0.
A blog which compliments this video is available here - #intel #optane SSD demo units received as part of the vExpert Program not being detected as a datastore in ESXi 7.0 or ESXi 8.0 ?
In this video we use an Intel® Optane™ SSD DC P4800X Series 375GB, 2.5in PCIe x4, 3D XPoint™, but this procedure can be use to change the LBA format of any storage media, SSD, HDD, NVMe

Installing used hardware in a home lab or other systems can have some challenges. Hopefully, the lesson learned here with a used NVMe drive will save someone else time and headache.
