M1 Mac mini can't read my SanDisk SSD

I am using a SanDisk SSD, however my Mac mini can't read the file of it. The SSD showed up in finder, but it can never load its content. It also didn't show up in Disk Utilities. Mac mini also told me I disconnected it without ejecting it properly which I didn't do that. I thought is my SSD's problem, so I try to plug it into my 2017 MacBook Pro. It works totally fine, the MacBook Pro can read the files in the SSD. Can anyone help me?

Mac mini, macOS 11.4

Plug the drive in to the MacBook and run Disk Utility > First Aid on the volumes and container(s) (if APFS) and when DU says the drive is OK then try it again connected to the mini.

EDIT - you might also try rebooting the mini.
