When Samsung and WD drives start acting up, it will be working for ages, then one day, it will be connected as usual and then, no matter what you do, it won't mount, you can feel it running in your hands, but nothing shows up on your computer, you disconnect, reconnect, try to mount it via command/terminal absolutely nothing is working... what are your strategies/next steps?

I have a few that have died/stopped working? and don't know what to do now.

I have a Mac by the way, and an Windows 11 NUC running MacDrive, I have connected the drive to both, and have had nothing at all.

Edit: when I connect it, I can feel it running when I touch it, but it doesn’t mount at all, I can’t backup anything because I can’t see anything when it is connected.
