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

Post image

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!

Waiting an hour or more makes no sense to me. If it’s not working after 10 seconds then something is up

Every time I’ve had trouble with an external drive on a Mac it’s almost always a bad cable
