I read that my Optane ssd has 232gbs of storage but I don't see it in my list of drives. Any insight?

1. If you are accelerating an HDD, using Optane Memory module, it has 32GB capacity, rather then 232GB: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/memory-storage/optane-memory/optane-memory-m10-series/optane-memory-m10-32gb-m-2-80mm.html
2. If the HDD acceleration is enabled you will not see the Optane Module as a separate drive.
3. There is an Optane memory Type H, which is used as high capacity and high performance SSD: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/memory-storage/optane-memory/optane-memory-h10-solid-state-storage.html

The screen shot of the Optane information for my Optane drive stated the following regarding storage capacity. This is why I thought I had 232gb of storage. Of course now that I think about it that is quite a lot for the SSD that I have. Anyway I wasn't making this stuff up. Lol

Now I see. You have 16GB Optane Memory Module (rather than 32 GB): https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/memory-storage/optane-memory/optane-memory-m10-series/optane-memory-m10-16gb-m-2-42mm.html . The 232.8GB value is related to your WD HDD WD2500AAJS-75M0A0 which is accelerated with the Optane Module.
