Hi =
co-readers,
excuse me for coming up with a non =
FreeBSD question but I'm sure many "also macOS" users are =
here.
I got an SSD external drive today from China. It's =
supposed to have 10TB and has the name "SEAGATE" engraved on the cover =
which I haven't opened
yet, also because it's clipped together =
- no screws.
Anyway, I =
tried
# dd if=3D/dev/rdisk12 =
of=3D/dev/zero
on it (in a macOS terminal =
window.
I'm getting
$ sudo dd if=3D/dev/rdisk12 =
of=3D/dev/zero bs=3D512
Password:
dd: /dev/rdisk12: =
Invalid argument
0+0 records =
in
0+0 records =
out
0 bytes =
transferred in 0.000036 secs (0 bytes/sec)
$
also without the bs=3D512 not =
any better.
An ideas what might be =
wrong?
