@Theo_dor 
The 4k drives will report as UNUSABLE in the MSA family of products.
It would not be recommended to use drives which are not supported in the MSA as occasionally issues are found and fixed with drive firmware.  Unsupported drives would not get drive firmware updates and could lead to undesireable behavior in the future.
