Disk Utility sees the Drive, but First Aid fails with error code 8, and mounting via the CLI does not work. No error messages, only when I plug the drive on the Airport extreme, which alerts me the drives need to be fixed.

Since yesterday the 2 TB external hard drive isn't mounting on my MacBook Pro Retina 2017. I checked Finder Preference and marked ‘show external drives' however it didn't worked. Tried to plug-in in different USB ports and checked Disk utility that makes the drive approved blurred. Most Important: I want to access my external hard drive data urgently. Any help is appreciated. ​

I have a Good & Bad News. Good news is I recovered almost most of the videos using the app called Stellar Phoenix Mac. This guide​ helped me. The bad news is that I am still unable to make the drive work as usual. The drive is out of warranty, so there is no chance of replacement. Any suggestions?

Can you tell us the exact make and model of the external drive as well as how you are connecting it (USB-A to USB-C or USB-C straight through).
