Subject: "About This Mac" not displaying my PCIe x16 Sonnet/Samsung card's RAID-0 unit

The unit named Swift-IO is a 4x 1TB RAID-0 using 4x 970 EVO Plus media blades in my Sonnet x16 PCIe card. The "About This Mac" does not display it as it does for other storage devices.

It displays every device I have configured (internal and external devices) except for the Swift-IO RAID-0 unit.

This running 10.15.3 Build 19D76.

Have you coded in the Finder Preferences Sidebar to show all internal and external devices? I had to do this to finally show all my disks. This might help to show in storage?

Unfortunately that does not resolve the issue... Swift-IO still does not show up in "About This Mac" -> Storage tab display..... see attachments.

It appears that "About This Mac" -> Storage will not display any software RAIDed device. If it's hardware RAIDed it will display. For example, it will display my Promise Pegasus R4 and R6 RAID-5 units as they use hardware RAID.

I will be sending a Problem Report / Enhancement Suggestion to Apple to address this issue.

I haven't confirmed this yet, but I've been told if software RAID uses APFS format the units will display in the "About This Mac" -> Storage tab window.

Maybe someone can check this out.
