The issue is now resolved.
Really straightforward with Truenas. Thanks to those who took the time to reply 👍
Well, I did mention it was a SSD in the post.
As for backups…
The disks containing the important stuff are higher spec SSD’s.
The data is backed up on 3 different drives - one offsite. So not really worried about dataloss at this point. And I have a fairly recent backup of the Truenas config/db.
The choice to not backup the boot drive, was made to save some money.
Just trying to figure out if a reinstall of Truenas on a new drive is the only option left. 🤷♂️
Output of journalctl is almost same as dmesg:

This cable has connected fine to previous ssd’s.
Maybe the drive just had a typical ssd reactive failure 🤔
(Disk Manager is just a gui mount tool shipped with mx.)

For future reference…
The output of dmesg, with working drive and usb-sata cable:
