OWC aftermarket 1TB disk missing in Mac Pro after erase process; not found in diskutil, startup list, or install-to list

disk-utilityhard driverecovery

I am selling a Mac Pro Late 2013. In anticipation of the sale, I erased the disk. The disk is a 1TB built-in SSD from OWC (Aura). After I erased the disk (there were 2 partitions, I erased both including the 'data' disk which is probably why this happened). I assumed after erasing, I would just be able to boot into recovery mode and re-install the OS. Problem is after getting into internet recovery mode, the disk is completely missing.

Diskutil list shows the boot disk but the 1tb drive is nowhere to be seen:

and no CoreStorage disks found.

Any ideas what to do appreciated.

I was able to see the disks once I used Option-⌘-R as opposed to ⌘-R. It seems that the disk for whatever reason was not showing when recovery attempted to install straight into Mojave. Using Option-⌘-R started the OS install with Catalina and from there the disks were visible and installation could proceed.
