Any ideas why these SSD drives are not recognized during the 7.0 install?
First disk (Samsung):
Part Number MZ7LH250HAHQ
Model MZ-76E250
Second disk (Samsung):
Part Number MZ7TE250HMHP
Model MZ-7TE250
Third disk (PNY):
Model PNY CS1311
It did recognize a Seagate 4TB hard drive but I want the install to the small ssd drive.
FWIW, They were all recognized by 6.7U3.
It's a known issue with some Samsung SSDs and is being looked at from a driver layer. Nothing to suggest except roll back.
I had this problem with Samsung EVO and PRO series many times before the ESXi7. If you certainly know your device model and type you can enable it as the SSD datastore, while I suggest to read it carefully before apply any changes.
