Q: Can't connect to new external drive

I have tried 2 different external drives and neither can be found on my mac mini running El Capitan 10.11.4.  A year or so ago it was fine.  After one upgrade or another, Time Machine no longer could find the drive.  I thought it was the external Iomega drive so I just bought a G-Technology G-drive but it did nothing either when connected via USB 2.0 cable (mini on drive end, regular on computer end).  I am planning to order a Firewire 800/800 cable and will see if that helps.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
