# Enable storage spaces direct

This is a short cmdlet to execute.

```
Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect –CimSession <ClusterName>
```

Here, I executed the command. Another nice warning to remind us we don't have fast disks ready to use as cache, as [per recommendations](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/choosing-drives).
