Plug in USB enclosure.
Give it few seconds/minutes to load (my 3TB external takes some time to load)
Then open terminal and post back
If this drive was ever dropped (I have done this also on a 1TB external) It is toast probably , because the platters are made of glass and shatter.
Hopefully, this is not the case here. I broke mine right after purchasing it. The cord (external cord enclosure) got tangled in my feet and I dropped kicked it to hell. I fought that drive for a while using software but you can't fix broke hardware with software.
I am surprised Thunar is not auto mounting yours in the left hand pane is why I am jaw jacking.
