It's possible that your Mac only reads disks formatted by the Mac or Fat32 from Windows.

Could you please check if the hard drive is working normally when connected on Windows PC? Sometimes Unix based systems respond better when it comes to drives with connectivity issues. If the drive is not working in Windows, there may be a problem with the drive. I strongly recommend you to backup all data while using the Linux OS. Is it possible to format in exFAT? Please check that and try to connect the drive to the Mac.
Hope this helps
