SSDs not recognized on esxi 7.0 install

[huchord]

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.
