Have you tried an SMC reset yet?

Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) (Apple Support Site)

If the first link does not work, as the Apple Support Pages are bit funky these last weeks:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) (PDF from that Apple Support Page about resetting the SMC)​

Make sure your connections are clean and secure.

Tried all that, also tried a different cable, plus PC and Linux (Ubuntu), any other solutions?

Is this a USB or Firewire disk? Or is it an internal disk?

If it's a USB or Firewire disk, the drive or case is probably broken.

If it's an internal drive, it could be the drive or the system.
