Do you mainly use it on a Mac? Do you want to use it for both Mac and PC? If it's the latter, you can format your USB drive on your mac using disk utility and formatting it as ExFAT. This way it will be recognized on both Mac and PC and you can save files onto it as well.
Where if you formatted it to Mac only you will only be able to write to it on Macs and not PCs.
Hope that makes sense

Well, in your case your external may corrupt. The solution is format the drive and then try some so-called data recovery software. After finishing the format option. Do it as follows.
Connect your hard drive to your personal computer. And install this software Wondershare Data Recovery on the computer in order to perform data recovery. Get the program from its site.
