What exactly is the issue?:

Is it not burning the disks
Is it not paying the disks
Is the drive not seen by the macOS?
Or Other...

Whichever is the case:

Shutdown: the Mac
Unplug: the drive
Wait: 30 seconds
Plugin: the drive
Power: on the Mac
See if it is now seen

If that is of no success...

Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:

Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Ports) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. Your hard drive may not be being read promptly, so resetting these, all of the ports would be configured to how they should be..
