Hello,
I had an external MYCloud 4TB HDD which I connected after sometime to backup the data, however it wasn't working properly. I took out the HDD and now installed it through the external Case and still can't connect to it. Model of the specific HDD is WD Red - NAS Hard Drive. It hasn't fallen or create any kind of noise while connected.

Here is what I've done so far

When I connect, I get this error
"The Disk you inserted wasn't readable by this computer"

- Finder
It doesn't appears in Finder

- Disk Utility
It does shows up in external but in form of multiple disks such as disk2s1 to disk2s2. Mostly 1-2 GB partitions with the biggest one of 3.99 TB. Filesystem is being shown as MS-DOS(FAT) When I click on First aid for either of the disks,it gives me the error of First Aid Process Failed with following error message

------------------------------------
Running First Aid on “” (disk2s2)
