Missing SSD drive

When I installed ubuntu I gave permission for the ubuntu installer to automatically partition my storage. I am now unable to locate my SSD drive.

Here is information about my partitions:

sudo lsblk

scsi@0:0.0.0,2 volume 931GiB Extended partition
scsi@2:0.0.0 /dev/cdrom disk DVD-RAM UJ8D1

And what I believe to be the SSD device listed:

sudo lshw -C storage *-storage description: SATA controller product: 7 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller [AHCI mode] vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 1f.2 bus info: pci@0000:00:1f.2 version: 04 width: 32 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: storage msi pm ahci_1.0 bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=ahci latency=0 resources: irq:27 ioport:4088(size=8) ioport:4094(size=4) ioport:4080(size=8) ioport:4090(size=4) ioport:4060(size=32) memory:f3b17000-f3b177ff *-scsi:0 physical id: 1 logical name: scsi0 capabilities: emulated *-scsi:1 physical id: 2 logical name: scsi2 capabilities: emulated

Please let me know if any further output is needed!

Bonus: on a possibly unrelated note - points for anybody that can help figure out this issue below :)
