Having trouble detecting 10TB HDD using a Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 9215 PCIe controller, shows on load but not on Linux 20.10

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to this, I had an old Dell PowerEdge T300 sever that I want to use as hybrid NAS/project machine. I need to boost the HDD's so I bought a Marvell PCIe SATA card that could ready the 10TB HDD. When the machine loads, it lists the cards and the 10TB HDD's. However, the OS does not recognise the HDD's, here is a list of my hardware, any insights into what I can test or try would be greatly appreciated:

I'm not familiar with Linux at all, but from my experience on Windows you'd have to format the drives as GPT, or something like that...

Thanks, I'd have to remove them to do that, but I guess it is worth a try since I'm stuck at the moment. I do have an external USB HDD reader, so I'll give it a go.
