Why doesn't my super drive show up under storage in the overview of my 2012 macbook pro anymore?

My SuperDrive has always been shown under storage in the overview of my 2012 MacBook Pro 17. No changes have been made by me, but I see it's no longer showing up there. Can someone please explain this to me?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

first I need to ask, is the superdrive connected directly to the Mac? or is it connected through a dock or hub?


if it's already connected directly, you may want to try and reset the SMC as well as reset the NVRAM. please see these two apple support pages:
