My external hard drive won't show up in the disk utility

Hello! I have a problem with my external hard drive (WD Elements), it doesn't even show up in the disk utility menu, or other times it shows up and then disappears, the hard drive works with my windows laptop normally, i have it in the exFAT format so idk what to do. The same thing happens with one of my USB drivers, other works just fine. The usbc to usb reduction works fine with other devices (tablet or scanner) so there's no problem with that. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

MacBook Air (2020 or later)
