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?

    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!
