Hello I want to know if these Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drives can be used for Ubuntu server. The reason I am asking is when I setup my True Nas server these drives did not work well with True Nas
I have at least 14 TB of drives I would like to put to good use, maybe to backup my Nas from time to time
Thanks for any help with this
Of course! Any hard drive can be used as long as it works with your hardware. There are no specific requirements for anything like that. The Linux kernel handles that kind of thing universally!
Ok but can I use them on lets say Ubuntu server ? I’m not sure how Ubuntu server configures their hard drives for storage I’ve read some were Ubuntu uses LVM format for storage
Yes, you can use it on Ubuntu server. I don’t know where you got that I was answering for any other distribution. To do so would be off-topic for this entire discourse. 
You can format the drives however you want for whatever file system you choose LVM or no LVM.
You originally asked about if it would work on Ubuntu server, and I was simply answering that.
Thank you so much for the info I’ll see how things work out
