Damaged SSD after installing Proxmox with ZFS?

So I have this weird behavior after installing Proxmox 8.3.0 in two ThinkCentre M910Q's that are equipped with a 4TB SSD each.
The machines came with a Windows pre installed which seemed to be working fine. I booted into the install ISO and installed Proxmox 8.3.0 (latest ISO download as per today), set everything up (ZFS with RAID0) and rebooted.

Sadly the machine says there is no bootable operating system on the disk and BIOS shows NOTHING installed as the "M.2 Drive 1" any more (as opposed to the initial state when Windows was still there, BIOS showed 4TB SSD).

When I now start the installer again, it shows an error message that there is no harddisk where Proxmox can be installed.

Did the Proxmox installer (or me) erase something from the disk to make it inaccessible to the BIOS? Did I accidentally damage the SSD?
I got the same behavior on both machines so I exclude a hardware error on both SSDs at the same time.
