I, too, had success changing to a different cable on one drive. Unfortunately, it did not work on another drive but it is the easiest, and cheapest thing to try. Worth a shot. Good luck.

2020-11-08T20:47:30+00:00 I had this problem with a 1TB SSD drive. Tried all the solutions suggested. Finally on a whim, changed from the USB-A to USB-C that came with the SSD to an el cheapo Android charging cable. It works now. Go figure.
