So managed to install and get up and running on 10.13.5
Reconfigured to 4k sector size, then all was good.
When I was in Ubuntu, the drive showed up a little funny, the text description when running smartctl said the drive was using 512 sector size, but where it listed both the supported LBA sizes, neither had the "+" in front of it.
My assumption is there was something in the SSD formatting that was preventing it from showing in the installer as 10.13 should natively support 512 sector size?
10.13 supports 512 LBA, but Hynix requires a special patch for preferred block size (see my patch-nvme github, config_patches.plist).
Changing to 4k is better if your drive has the capability.
