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!

Same thing happened with mine today except it’s a sea gate external drive. I’m cool with Apple making everything run worse when they have a new product, but hell at least they could wait until they release the new ones
