As per Qt documentation, QML models need their roles defined at the beginning, thus, when the plasmoid is loaded with no accessible drives on the system, those two roles are not created (plasma/generic/dataengines/soliddevice/soliddeviceengine.cpp), and the plasmoid will always show "undefined" for its whole lifetime.
