Last week my new (<1year), NTFS, single-partition, non-OS, BitLocker-encrypted Western Digital Red 3TB drive stopped mounting, and only shows up in disk manager as a

Basic, Online, 2048.00 GB, Healthy (GPT Protective Partition)

enter image description here

I am running the latest version of Windows 10 Pro x64. I have tried plugging into different USB slots as well as an entirely different PC. BitLocker control panel does not seem to recognize the drive.

Is this some sort of a common BitLocker mounting issue, or is my data lost?

The problem was caused by the SATA to USB enclosure I was using and as soon as I connected the HDD to an actual desktop sata port, everything went back to normal.
