Same here, the interval SSD shows on disk utility occasionally. So is it in terminal. It works after i replaced a new SSD.
The command "diskutil eraseDisk" works when Disk Utility don't allow erase format from "Mac OS extended" to "APFS"

GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE THE SSD IN THE TERMINAL.

I had the exact same problem, it didn't read my ssd or gave me "firmware not compatible" error and i solved it by following these simple steps, follow them exactly.

Your mac doesn't recognize the SSD for a simple reason, apple has set a block at firmware (software) level so ANY THIRD PARTY SSD is not recognized by the system once you have any operating system (in my case monterey) installed on it.

I for example had a 2015 mac that I wanted to install monterey on. Well, it is NOT possible to do it via bootable stick directly from third party ssd. Because apple does not recognize the firmware. This is the reason why it won't read it to you.

How did I solve this? Simple


You MUST have an ORIGINAL APPLE ssd (any, as long as it is original). At this point install the native operating system of the PC in that ssd via the internet or alternatively if you already have it installed. Once done and configured and turned on the mac, go to settings and simply update from the mac settings. In my case I updated from high sierra to monterey.

Now your mac has installed the operating system firmware (in my case monterey) so i can ONLY NOW THAT IT'S UNLOCKED use a third party ssd with monterey on it (via bootable key).

Last step: now your pc will read the ssd. If you have already installed the operating system on the ssd via the bootable key then it will work fine, wait for the installation.

If you haven't you have to create a bootable stick and put the operating system on your third party ssd. THIS I RECOMMEND ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE ALREADY PUT AN ORIGINAL APPLE SSD AND UNLOCKED THE FIRMWARE OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM YOU WANT

I solved this way after days of flapping, it works great!
