My Seagate external hard drive is not working on Mac. How can I fix it?

I see that your Mac can't recognize your Seagate external hard drive, and you've done some troubleshooting, including:

Sometimes, an insufficiently charged drive won't appear in Disk Utility or the desktop, but it still shows up in System Information. Go to the Apple menu > About This Mac > System Report, and look for hardware information about your hard drive.

If System Information detects your external hard drive, you need to supply the drive with enough power. You can do that by switching to a better cable or ensuring the drive is charged by avoiding adaptors or using a different adaptor.

You mentioned that First Aid failed to repair the drive, so it likely has some corrupted files or file system issues. The easiest way to fix corruption like such is by reformatting the drive and assigning it a new, clean file system.

Then after the data is secured, you can reformat the external hard drive on Mac.
