frozen SSD SATAFIRM S11 "SBFM61W5"

I bought a new SSD disk "PNY C900 SSD 240 GB"

I cloned my old disk 120GB on it, when I tried to extend my system partition I discovered that the disk is frozen.

All operations from diskpart don'twork (format , delete partitions, delete all partition , clean ...)

The disk is defined as "SATAFIRM S11":

I suspect that the disk has lost it's firmware but I can't find on the internet. It is "SBFM61W5", can any one tell me what I do or where I can get this firmware or how extract it from an other disk with the same brand and model?

The SSD has experienced an unrecoverable internal error and the firmware has "panicked". It is reporting the identity of the Flash controller (Phison S11).

There is nothing you can do with software to fix this drive.

Return the disk and ask for replacement or reimbursement.

The controller chip of this drive is PHISON PS3111-S11. Firmwares shouldn't be distributed to Internet since it is a commercial secret.

You will have to turn to the seller of it. But also you can try your luck on finding firmware of PS3111.
