Appreciate the suggestion. Did shut down and pulled power cord for a bit too. I was only able to get the harness seated on the drive by a prayer when I did the SSD install, so it wouldn't be too surprising if me touching the mac to do hard shutdown was the last straw.

Did you try shutting down (not just restarting)?
I don't know about the mini, but on my 2012 Mac Pro, large drives disappear when I restart. I have to shut down then cold boot. That shouldn't be an issue with either the mini itself or a 2TB drive, but maybe???
