SSD 4tb disk error

Brief description of the problem

Try to add my SSD disk as a pool but get below error .
Rockstor is installed on a laptop which is dedicated as server . Only Rockstor is installed and will be. I plan is to use it as a complement to my old nas , Zyxel Nas326 and WD mycloud . I have some USB disk that I will use at the Rockstor NAS .

@nicklas welcome to the Rockstor community.

Is this drive new or has it been used elsewhere before? If it’s been used I would recommend to wipe it first (see the documentation for pre-install best practices).

The drive is new but I started to wipe it to be sure so I will test it after the wipe.
