Why doesn't CrystalDiskInfo see my HBA-connected SSD?
I recently bought a PCIe-based HBA (Host Bus Adapter) (i.e. a PCIe-to-SATA card) to add an additional two SATA ports to my current system. The HBA has been working fine, and shows up in Device Manager as a SATA controller. Explorer, Disk Management, and even Cygwin are all able to see the 120GB Kingston SSD drive connected to the HBA, and write to it at normal speeds as if it was connected to the motherboard's primary SATA controller.
However, the drive can't be seen at all by the latest version of CystalDiskInfo. Why is this?

This is a decent question. All points to CrystalDiskInfo being flaky for some reason.
