I have 6 72GB SAS drives on my HP DL580 but they all show up as one collective Logical Dive.
Is there a way to have seperate drives so I can pass them to the VMs to be used as such ?

Note: assuming your disks aren't in a RAID volume... if they are, then you'll need to break the RAID volume and re-install.
When you install XenServer, you are asked to create the storage and you are asked which drives to include. You would need to not include any (or only one) and then manually create the storage once the installer is completed.
Now that everything is installed, you still can do it by destroying and re-creating the storage.
You'll have to read the commands documentation to get all the parameters but generally what you are looking for is the xe
command.
For example, to create a storage repository:
xe sr-create type=ext content-type=user \
device-config:device=/dev/sdX \
name-label="dataX"
sm-config:allocation=thin
