I have the same problem with my "Seagate Backup Plus 4TB External Hard Drive USB 3.0" under Catalina 10.15.1. The disk formatted for Time Machine does show up in system details, however can not be mounted or used. Disk Utility comes up with error message (com.apple.Diskmanagement.disenter eror 0.) My other identical 4TB drive, which is used to share files between my Windows and MAC system is recognised and I can read the files via FINDER, however I can not write new files to it.

I think CATALINA sucks !!!
