Hey happy. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your drive. Do you hear any unusual sounds/noises coming from the drive? I'd recommend that you try it with a different USB cable (not longer than 12") and a different computer to see if the same thing happens. If you want to recover data from that drive, I'd suggest that you try accessing it via Linux Live CD/USB to see if it's recognized properly and if you can retrieve your data. You could also try some of the data recovery options from this thread here: https://www.tomshardware.com/
You most reliable data recovery option remains a professional solution such as a data recovery company, here's a link with our data recovery partners: https://support-en.wd.com/app/datarecovery
If you're able to recover your data, then I'd recommend that you download DLG (Data Lifeguard Diagnostic) and run both tests (Quick and Extended) to see if there are any errors or bad sectors. You can download it from here: https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?DL
Hope that helps. Let me know how everything goes.
