Drive is plugged into amobo usb-3 port via a startech USB3S2SAT3CB 
ADAPTER CABLE.

f3probe took over 16 seconds, but says it the real thing:
root@coyote:~# f3probe /dev/sdc

WARNING: Probing normally takes from a few seconds to 15 minutes, but
          it can take longer. Please be patient.

Probe finished, recovering blocks... Done

Good news: The device `/dev/sdc' is the real thing

Device geometry:
                  *Usable* size: 3.64 TB (7814037168 blocks)
                 Announced size: 3.64 TB (7814037168 blocks)
                         Module: 4.00 TB (2^42 Bytes)
         Approximate cache size: 0.00 Byte (0 blocks), need-reset=no
            Physical block size: 512.00 Byte (2^9 Bytes)

Probe time: 16.04s

2nd drive is a CC of first. So in hex, those two should yield 7.28T of 
storage..

I have made 1 full partiton om each one, a labeled those partitions  as 
SiPwr_0 and SiPwr_1
I have not attempted to do anything else until the hdwe is fully 
assembled.  My only question it will those partition names survive 
lvcreating an 11T lvm out of these and 2 more 2T gigastones.

Thanks for any advice since I have not dealt with an lvm in about 15+ 
years trying it once when it first came out with a high disaster rating 
then. This time the experiment will be on something expendable in its 
early days.

Thank you all.

Take care, stay warm and well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
