SSD in question: Kingston 240GB A400 SSD 2.5" SATA III SSD - 500MB/s

Problem: It doesn't show up in my File Explorer, I have tried using GSmartControl to see if it shows up. It shows up as SATAFIRM S11. I've pasted the stuff GSmartControl output in a pastebin (https://pastebin.com/NMRfAbFD). If anyone can help it would be appreciated as I want to look what's inside the SSD.

Is it partitioned correctly? Or does it even appear in disk management tool?
