I think you may be looking for the Fluid Cache function.
Fluid Cache Disks is a server-side caching accelerator that makes high-speed Express Flash (PCIeSSD) a shared, distributed resource.: https://dell.to/3jU4t6W
You can use OpenManage Server Administrator with Storage Administrator installed
The supported PERC controllers are H710, H710P, H810, H730, H730P, and H830.
Note: it is a licensed feature - Managing Fluid Cache license. :

In the PERC BIOS or hardware level there is not an option in the H730P to create cache disks.
Disk cache is handled by the memory on the PERC controller.
All disks attached to the backplane are controlled by the PERC controller.
What is the reason for needing to set up cache disk and desired purpose?
If you private message me your service tag I can get a look at your system build.

Hello jtejada.ralco,
Cache options are shown here on Page 29 virtual disk write cache policies
https://dell.to/3EvBOi4
What is the OS you are using and I can do more research?

Hi charles,
Thank you in advance for your answer.
This option is only available for drives connected by PCIe? What about drives connected to the backplane of the servers?

Windows Server 2022. I was viewing that information but I dont see how to setup disks as cache disks.
