In Sangfor HCI, disks must be presented in JBOD / HBA (passthrough mode). Your current setup (each disk in RAID 0) is still treated as RAID-managed storage, so HCI blocks it.

Why you’re seeing these errors:
SSD error (not in compatibility list)
RAID controller hides the real SSD details (model/firmware), so even after “Allow SSD” via aDeploy, it doesn’t fully apply.
HDD error (disk health failed)
HCI cannot read SMART/health data through RAID → required for datastore.
aDeploy not fixing
Because the RAID layer is still in between, not true passthrough.

Correct Solution:
Change RAID card to HBA / IT mode (JBOD)
If your AVAGO card doesn’t support it → use a supported HBA controller
Re-add disks and create datastore again

Summary:

RAID 0 ≠ JBOD

Sangfor requires direct disk access, otherwise datastore creation will fail.
