But sometimes, when you connect an external SSD on your Mac, the storage medium won\u2019t show up on your Desktop or Finder. Even prompt you with the error \u2013 The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"552\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-not-Readable.png\" alt=\"SSD not Readable\" class=\"wp-image-2425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-not-Readable.png 552w, https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-not-Readable-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn case the SSD is new, empty, and plugged for the first time, you can click the Initialize button. Else, click the Ignore or Eject button, as initializing the SSD will erase the drive and create a new file system format. Also, you\u2019ll lose all the stored data on the SSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, what\u2019s the reason for the unreadability of an SSD, you might question. Here is the list of common reasons that make your SSD unreadable on Mac:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>SSD is new and uninitialized for Mac<\/li><li>SSD has the corrupt file system <\/li><li>SSD has bad blocks due to failed storage cells<\/li><li>SSD file system format is not compatible with Mac<\/li><li>SSD is encoded with a non-compatible encryption algorithm<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nEmploy the following DIY troubleshooting methods to fix the SSD unreadability issue on macOS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>1. General Troubleshooting Procedures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen your external SSD is not visible in Desktop, Finder, or Disk Utility when connected to your Mac, perform the following general troubleshooting procedures: <\/p>\n\n\n\na)<\/strong> Check USB Connection<\/strong>: Reconnect the SSD to the USB port then restart your Mac. Or use a different USB cable to connect it to your Mac. You can even connect the SSD to a different USB port or use a different Mac or PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection.png\" alt=\"Check USB Connection\" class=\"wp-image-2429\" width=\"196\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection.png 196w, https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection-80x80.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nb)<\/strong> Enable SSD visibility on Desktop<\/strong>: In your Mac, go to Finder<\/strong> > Preferences<\/strong> > General<\/strong>.

Repair SSD by Using Disk Utility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen your external SSD\u2019s file system is corrupt or has bad blocks, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/unable-to-repair-mac-ssd-from-recovery-mode-disk-utility-first-aid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">repair the issue by using First Aid of Disk Utility<\/a>. Steps are as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\na)<\/strong> Open the Disk Utility app. For that, go to Finder<\/strong> > Application<\/strong> > Utilities > Disk Utility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nb)<\/strong> From the Sidebar, select the external SSD, then click the First Aid<\/strong> tab from the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\nc)<\/strong> Click Run<\/strong> to initiate the repair process. If the repair is successful, you can access your SSD. Else, recover data from the SSD, and erase the drive to fix the SSD unreadability issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>3. Recover SSD Data Using a Mac Data Recovery Software<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn case Disk Utility can\u2019t repair your external SSD, you can use a Mac data recovery software to recover inaccessible data from the drive. Steps are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\na) <\/strong>Download and install the *trial version of Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition for Mac <\/strong>software on your MacBook, iMac, or Mac mini. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.stellarinfo.com\/micro\/StellarDataRecoveryFree.dmg.zip\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Free-Download-Mac-Blue-button.png\" alt=\"free-download\" class=\"wp-image-1586\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nb) <\/strong>Launch the software, select the type of data present on the SSD, and then click Next<\/strong>. Select the SSD location and click Scan<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/images\/1.png\" alt=\"Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition for Mac\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nc) <\/strong>Preview any scanned files, select the required ones, and click Recover<\/strong>. Click Browse to specify a different drive location, then click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Free-Mac-file-recovery.png\" alt=\"Preview\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n*The free version of Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition for Mac software<\/strong> permits free recovery of files up to 1 GB. But the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/detail-features.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stellar Data Recovery Professional for Mac<\/a> edition can recover unlimited data from a corrupt SSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Recover Data for Free on macOS Big Sur, Catalina etc. | 2021 Free Mac data recovery software\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5WMyLK345bc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>4. Erase the External SSD to Fix the Unreadability Problem<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve recovered data from the external SSD, you can erase it with the APFS format using Disk Utility. Steps to erase external SSD are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\na)<\/strong> Open Disk Utility from the sidebar, select the external SSD, and then click Erase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nb)<\/strong> Specify the scheme, format, and name of the formatted SSD. Click Erase<\/strong>, and then Done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter the SSD is formatted, it will function without any problem. Now, restore the recovered data to the SSD to make it just like before. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen the SSD has physical damage, it won\u2019t be visible in Disk Utility or System Information. If data is essential, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/support.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">consult a data recovery service<\/a>. Else, replace the SSD with a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFix the unreadability problem of your external SSD by checking the USB connection, setting the visibility preferences for Desktop and Finder, and repairing the drive using First Aid. If such troubleshooting procedures didn\u2019t help, recover data from the external SSD using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/free-mac-data-recovery.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition for Mac<\/a> software. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you recover the SSD’s inaccessible data, erase the drive using Disk Utility, and restore the recovered files. In case the SSD has physical damage, replace it with a new one. You can take help from a data recovery service provider to recover data from a physically damaged SSD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Untitled Document \u00a0 Summary: Learn how to fix a non-readable SSD on your Mac without needing to send it to a costly service center.

Even prompt you with the error \u2013 The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"552\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-not-Readable.png\" alt=\"SSD not Readable\" class=\"wp-image-2425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-not-Readable.png 552w, https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-not-Readable-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn case the SSD is new, empty, and plugged for the first time, you can click the Initialize button. Else, click the Ignore or Eject button, as initializing the SSD will erase the drive and create a new file system format. Also, you\u2019ll lose all the stored data on the SSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, what\u2019s the reason for the unreadability of an SSD, you might question. Here is the list of common reasons that make your SSD unreadable on Mac:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>SSD is new and uninitialized for Mac<\/li><li>SSD has the corrupt file system <\/li><li>SSD has bad blocks due to failed storage cells<\/li><li>SSD file system format is not compatible with Mac<\/li><li>SSD is encoded with a non-compatible encryption algorithm<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nEmploy the following DIY troubleshooting methods to fix the SSD unreadability issue on macOS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>1. General Troubleshooting Procedures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen your external SSD is not visible in Desktop, Finder, or Disk Utility when connected to your Mac, perform the following general troubleshooting procedures: <\/p>\n\n\n\na)<\/strong> Check USB Connection<\/strong>: Reconnect the SSD to the USB port then restart your Mac. Or use a different USB cable to connect it to your Mac. You can even connect the SSD to a different USB port or use a different Mac or PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection.png\" alt=\"Check USB Connection\" class=\"wp-image-2429\" width=\"196\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection.png 196w, https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Check-USB-Connection-80x80.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nb)<\/strong> Enable SSD visibility on Desktop<\/strong>: In your Mac, go to Finder<\/strong> > Preferences<\/strong> > General<\/strong>.

Repair SSD by Using Disk Utility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen your external SSD\u2019s file system is corrupt or has bad blocks, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/unable-to-repair-mac-ssd-from-recovery-mode-disk-utility-first-aid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">repair the issue by using First Aid of Disk Utility<\/a>. Steps are as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\na)<\/strong> Open the Disk Utility app. For that, go to Finder<\/strong> > Application<\/strong> > Utilities > Disk Utility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nb)<\/strong> From the Sidebar, select the external SSD, then click the First Aid<\/strong> tab from the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\nc)<\/strong> Click Run<\/strong> to initiate the repair process. If the repair is successful, you can access your SSD. Else, recover data from the SSD, and erase the drive to fix the SSD unreadability issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>3. Recover SSD Data Using a Mac Data Recovery Software<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn case Disk Utility can\u2019t repair your external SSD, you can use a Mac data recovery software to recover inaccessible data from the drive. Steps are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\na) <\/strong>Download and install the *trial version of Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition for Mac <\/strong>software on your MacBook, iMac, or Mac mini. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.stellarinfo.com\/micro\/StellarDataRecoveryFree.dmg.zip\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Free-Download-Mac-Blue-button.png\" alt=\"free-download\" class=\"wp-image-1586\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nb) <\/strong>Launch the software, select the type of data present on the SSD, and then click Next<\/strong>. Select the SSD location and click Scan<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/images\/1.png\" alt=\"Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition for Mac\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nc) <\/strong>Preview any scanned files, select the required ones, and click Recover<\/strong>.

But the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/detail-features.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stellar Data Recovery Professional for Mac<\/a> edition can recover unlimited data from a corrupt SSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Recover Data for Free on macOS Big Sur, Catalina etc. | 2021 Free Mac data recovery software\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5WMyLK345bc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>4. Erase the External SSD to Fix the Unreadability Problem<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve recovered data from the external SSD, you can erase it with the APFS format using Disk Utility. Steps to erase external SSD are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\na)<\/strong> Open Disk Utility from the sidebar, select the external SSD, and then click Erase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nb)<\/strong> Specify the scheme, format, and name of the formatted SSD. Click Erase<\/strong>, and then Done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter the SSD is formatted, it will function without any problem. Now, restore the recovered data to the SSD to make it just like before. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen the SSD has physical damage, it won\u2019t be visible in Disk Utility or System Information. If data is essential, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/support.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">consult a data recovery service<\/a>. Else, replace the SSD with a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFix the unreadability problem of your external SSD by checking the USB connection, setting the visibility preferences for Desktop and Finder, and repairing the drive using First Aid. If such troubleshooting procedures didn\u2019t help, recover data from the external SSD using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macintosh-data-recovery.com\/free-mac-data-recovery.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition for Mac<\/a> software. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you recover the SSD’s inaccessible data, erase the drive using Disk Utility, and restore the recovered files. In case the SSD has physical damage, replace it with a new one. You can take help from a data recovery service provider to recover data from a physically damaged SSD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Untitled Document \u00a0 Summary: Learn how to fix a non-readable SSD on your Mac without needing to send it to a costly service center.
