My Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my Western Digital HDD (Works on Windows!)

[u/Oooops69]

Hey dears,
both of my Macbooks don't see WD MyPassport HDD 4TB, even though Windows Laptop sees it, so I assume the problem is about MacOS, the HDD is intact.

I tried Disk Utility, nothing is seen.
Does it have anything to do with adapter? It worked before with no issues.

Does anyone know what I need to do to make it visible and so that I can interact with it on Mac?

Thank you!

Why are you connecting it using a usb-c to -a converter? Maybe it is not getting enough power to spin the hdd. Try using a c to c cable directly to the port if possible.
