SSD Drive Problem
SSD Drive Problem
I have a new WD Blue 1TB ssd hard drive that doesn't want to get formatted or mounted. When I attach the drive via USB I get an error message of:
Unable to Mount 1.0 Tb volume
An operation is already pending
Eventually I get:
Unable to Mount 1.0 Tb volume
timeout was reached
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T570 running Linux Mint 22.1 Xia base. "GParted" and "Disks" don't see the drive. Is there something I can do to access the disc or is it toast?
Check the output of dmesg after plugging it in.
Better yet, run
sudo dmesg --followbeforehand, and watch the output there while plugging it in.So far it is showing

I was first getting an error about my Fing agent. I uninstalled the Fing snap and now I am getting:
Unable to Mount 1.0 Tb volume Error mounting /dev/sdb1/ at...: can't read superblock on /dev/sdb1/
Thanks!
