This is a controller issue mostly. Have seen in past with siliconmotion controllers.

If under warranty, please RMA.

If not possible to RMA due to any reasons, try to do a power reset on the device - basically switching ON the PC and then directly powering it off, without anything else connected like barebones. This may force the controller out of this state.
