The reason why Change SAT0 to SATA is because of ACPI edits. i.e On my Z77 Desktop i inject these Values to SATA also another reason is because on a genuine Mac's SATA comes under SATA not SAT0. Another reason on why i do it because OS X/macOS can talk to the hardware better.

Hmmm.. I have this...

Do I need to implement an SSDT???

Not really. Generic AHCI means the driver match is on the pci class as opposed to device id. You can inject device properties in an SSDT to change the name from Generic AHCI.

So that's just a cosmetic thing then, eh?

You can implement a SSDT like i did for Series 9. Will need ioreg. Take it this is the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero? Might be better to wait until a Series 200 Mac is released although theres support in 10.12.6.

Incorrect. Need to inject a supported Device ID. No Genuine Mac has Generic SATA controller with a unsupported Device ID. Device ID Controller is not supported hence why its showing Generic AHCI Controller.

No Support in AppleAHCI.kext so can't do much atm wait till 10.13 is fully release then report back if the problem is still there.

The specs on Asus' site don't mention which "Intel Series AHCI" I have on that board (just says Intel SATA) - any idea how to find out?

You can look in Linux running lspci.
