Sas drive Stuck at .99% when reformatting

I just purchase some 15k 450gb sas drive for my hba and one of them is stuck at .99% when reformatting to 512 bytes. I’m using sg utils on windows and running the command sg_format —format —size=512 pd(drive number)

I’m new to this whole process so if anyone knows a solution let me know!

Did you try the --six flag?

No I have not. I am on windows so how would I add this to the command?

I’d highly recommend using linux, windows does not have a great time with direct disk access.
