From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

One other idea regarding the external drive. It probably won't resolve the issue, but it's not too hard to try and it's simple, so I'd be inclined to give it a stab.
If your external SSD drive has a power connector separate from the data connector, which some do -- that is, it's not relying on USB or similar for all its power -- and it hasn't been powered down since you hit the problem with your Arch installation, I'd try shutting down the computer, then killing the power entirely to the drive. Then power it back up, and start the computer again.
I have, before, seen USB-attached devices that manage to get themselves into some sort of funky state. Normally, rebooting the computer resolves that, but with devices with an external source of power -- which can be the case for external drives -- I have seen devices sometimes not cleanly reset when the computer does and stay in a bonkers state.
