My take is Firebird is a SanDisk internal codename. Similar to a bootstrap or failsafe waiting for a device or program to flash the drive controller hardware. Unfortunately there is no actual hope on the SanDisk forums other than to replace it. The two log files are from identical drives.
I tried every trick that I could find to bring this drive to life but it seems as if it needs a firmware load since the device name is not correct. It is interesting that it is readable and not garbage like the firmware is corrupt.
My 0.02 is to replace the drive.
It would be nice if there was a release from sandisk to flash this device but I don't think their engineering team would ever let that out since some devices use the same chips and the actual disk size is limited by the firmware in the controller.

Hello I joined since I am having issues as well with a SanDisk USB drive.
I went to my local store and purchased another drive and it works as it should.
