I've got 2 server in a cluster running 2019 and I am trying to setup Storage spaces direct. Each server has 4 SSD drives for the S2D pool as well as a NVMe drive.
When I do Get-PhysicalDisk it shows the disk and appears to be right. However I do notice the meida type is ssd and not nvme which I don't see as an option. Does that matter?

When I go to enable storage spaces it works, but at the end it says there was no cache drive and it doesn't add the cache drives.
Where have I gone wrong? These NVMe drives are in a Dell R730 with the x4x4x4x4 pcie adapter card (dell branded)
Thank you
