I wasn't able to confirm the root cause, but I did get it to show back up by removing and reinserting both the drive itself and the ribbon cable into both slots. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but there was I think a post mentioning their ribbon cable was pinched and may have affected it.
The ribbon cable itself doesn't actually fit the angle and distance it's designed for; there's always a hump/bulge in the middle of it, because the length doesn't allow it to lay flat. I tried laying it in a way that would prevent it from being pinched by anything, but we'll see.
I'll give it a couple more tries this week and next, and if it still disappears, I might just return it and try another one.
