Question WD External HDD has a red arrow in Disk Management and says it's "Unallocated" ?

[zillah]

Dear Experts

I have got a 1TB WD External HDD and when I connect it to different Windows 10 computers and different USB ports it has a red arrow in Disk Management and says "Unallocated". I tried different USB cables as well.

I shucked it from the enclosure but I realized I can't hook it up to my desktop dock.
What should I do to recognize it without losing data ?
Thx

"without losing data".

Your data should never be at the mercy of a single storage device.

Unfortunately, it looks like the USB-SATA bridge is built into the PCB for the drive.
