You can turn the integrated RAID controller off in the System bios. Just go to integrated devices -> Integrated Raid Controller -> Disabled. I believe once you do this you will no longer be able to boot to those drives. Make sure you have a good backup before performing these steps.

Hi DELL-Dennis S and thanks for the reply. There is an option in Integrated devices which disables the controller but that disables the disk controller ability as well. In order to successfully disable it and get 2 separate disks, you need to go in the RAID BIOS (with Ctrl+R) and delete the raid array in there and then make an raid array for each disk separately. Weird logic but that's how it is :P Also, if you have a system backup (like I did) it's not useful after disabling the raid controller. Thankfully, I also have data backup ;-) Cheers though!
