I have a motherboard that reports following data:
00:17.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-S PCH SATA Controller [AHCI Mode] (rev 11) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0])
DeviceName: Onboard - SATA
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Alder Lake-S PCH SATA Controller [AHCI Mode]
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 146, IOMMU group 7
Memory at 84b20000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Memory at 84b23000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
I/O ports at 4090 [size=8]
I/O ports at 4080 [size=4]
I/O ports at 4060 [size=32]
Memory at 84b22000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]

That means that is in the right mode for TrueNas to operate?
I can see drives and their serial numbers and I’m running a full SMART test right now.

And when I plugged (Hot Plug support seems to work too) an old failing drive I got a warning about failing drive. That means I’m good to go and I can start setting up filesystem and dataset?
