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/O errors, nice. What kind of disk is this? Removable USB case? Fixed one? Are you able to test the disk in another case or directly plugged into a mainboard?

    WD Blue SSD drive in a removable case. I'll try it another machine.

    Same issue on a different machine :-(
