The saga of my 500 GB SATA SD drive.

[Doug Laidlaw]

For about a year, I could find no way to make my SD drive visible. This
afternoon I just saw it "looking at me." It was already partitioned
with a few tiny partitions and an NTFS boot partition, with drive letter
C:, that Windows was using for a swap file. It was simply a matter of
not seeing what I expected. Windows won't let me interfere with its
"paging" (swap) partition, but I should be able to rearrange things with
GParted in Linux.

Except that the drive isn't visible in Linux.

Not at all sure what you mean by "not visible". There is no partition on
that drive that would be mounted.
What does ls /dev/nvme* show? What other drives do you have?

Anything show up for it using lsblk?
