I'm looking at using this motherboard (SuperMicro x10sdv-4c-tln2f) to build a TrueNAS Scale system. My plan is to connect my 5x12TB disks directly to the SATA ports on the motherboard and using an M.2 Nvme as a boot drive.
However, when reading the Hardware guide recommendations for Storage controllers it states that:
Would you recommend use this motherboard for my build? Or should I avoid it?

Onboard SATA controllers are popular with smaller builds, but motherboard vendors are better at catering to the needs of NAS users by including more than the traditional four SATA interfaces. Be aware that many motherboards ship with a mix of 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps onboard SATA interfaces and that choosing the wrong one could impact performance. If a motherboard includes hardware RAID functionality, do not use or configure it, but note that disabling it in the BIOS might remove some SATA functionality depending on the motherboard. Most SATA compatibility-related issues are immediately apparent.
