on the First machine the ahci driver detects the drives hence the
ada[0-9] interfaces.
It looks like on the other machine that ahci did not find the drives,
there are stil called ad[0-9] 

Ahci sees the drives as ada as the normal ata driver sees them as ad

Maybe you will need to go into the BIOS of the second machine and enable
AHCI
