I just replaced my hard drive with an OWC Aura SSD and Drive Scope isn’t seeing it. How come?

Unfortunately, OWC Aura SSDs do not pass SMART data over the PCIe connection, which means these storage devices are listed as Not Supported in Apple’s Disk Utility and will also be missing from the drive list in Drive Scope. As a result, you won’t be able to monitor the health of these drives using tools that rely on SMART data, including those built into macOS or other third party SMART utilities.
