Take a look from the ports storcli or MegaCli

You can do pretty well everything you need with those 2 tools to talk to
mrsas attached disks

eg

MegaCli -CfgEachDskRaid0 WT NORA Direct CachedBadBBU -Automatic -a0
or
storcli /c0 show all
storcli /c0 show help
storcli /c0 set jbod=on (enable jbod mode for drives)
storcli /c0/e252/s0 set jbod (sets a disk into jbod mode)
