Windows server 2016 Storage Spaces direct with Dell Perc H730 mini

hi,

i got 2 Dell R730 with Perc H730 mini RAID controller.

i've installed Windows server 2016 (Final Version not TP) on the servers and i need to create a storage spaces direct cluster on the servers using my local disks.

Storage space direct requires the use on Non-RAID disks , so i've switched the H730 to HBA mode and removed all RAIDs from the server. BUT windows keeps marking my disks as RAID disks and therefore i can't use them for my Storage spaces direct cluster.

i've been struggling with this for a few day, i guess this is a known issue.

how do i make windows use the disks as SAS disks and not RAID?
