=== Update (05/19/2022) ===
+
If your Macintosh HD drive is not visible in Disk Utility
+
+
The built-in startup disk is the first item listed in the Disk Utility sidebar. It's called Macintosh HD, unless it's otherwise called. If you don't see it there, choose Apple menu > Shut Down, then disconnect any unnecessary devices from your Mac and try again.
+
+
If the disk still does not appear in Disk Utility, or the disk utility reports that the wiping process has failed, your Mac may require assistance from Apple Support.
+
+
The solution may be to connect this disk to another computer (another motherboard) and check its operation (this is one of the last models from which the SSD can be removed and checked organoleptically). It is also possible that the pins on the disk port are dirty or damaged, sometimes it happens.
