Is this a real SSD disk, or an USB stick?

If it is a stick, what you describe would be typical of a device that 
has been written to more times than it supports and has switched to 
read-only mode, and thus there is nothing to do.

Otherwise, it could be a faked "big" usb stick. As it is in R/O mode, it 
is not possible to test it for actual size (it involves writing once to 
its full declared size, and comparing).

I know of faked usb sticks, but not faked SSD drives.
