Hard drive not showing

My hard drive is not showing up on my laptop (Macbook Pro 2019 13" macOS Catalina) but does on other devices. This has recently started happening. It will show there is something there in the disk utility but it is not the same name as the hard drive.

I have tried to unmount using terminal etc.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Something isn't making sense. I can't think of a reason it would not appear.


Try the usual fixes: restart your Mac, perhaps restart it in Safe Mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support. Try a different USB cable; try a different USB port.


You wrote that something is appearing in Disk Utility, but under a different name. What name appears?
