Hello Ammar Siddiqui,

 

This article provides information about supported firmware and drivers that have been validated for Dell EMC Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct Ready Nodes and AX nodes. It does not list the R750xs

https://dell.to/3lldgmi

 

It looks like R750xs has not been validated for S2D.

Your PowerEdge R750xs supports these operating systems:

This may be a good resource for you : Dell Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct Ready Nodes

PowerEdge R440, R640, R740xd

You may want to contact your sales representative and consult to spec out a S2D compatible system.  On the forum we support break/fix issues so it may be best to contact them.
