SSD Drive Problem (lemmy.world)

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?

@floppingfish It says operation already pending. In Ubuntu and many other Linux distros, when you plug in a USB device it mounts automatically, take a look at df and see if you don't have a new partition mounted somewhere you didn't expect.
