This is similar to the pattern reported on other forums. Drive is appears
to be dead, after trying various external adapters it starts working, so we
don't know if there is something special about a particular adapter or a
change in the internal status of the drive. One recovery recipe is to
apply power without the data connection. This could allow the drive to
get its act together without the diversion of commands on the data
connection. It makes we wonder if the drive doesn't have whoops
mode where it reinstalls firmware and rescans the drive to get its own
internal mapping into a consistent state. I assume vendors try to design
this (if it even is a real things) in a way that most users won't notice, but
there may well be edge case usage patterns that the vendor didn't anticipate.
