Suspicious external drive

I plugged out my WD hard drive after transferring some things from my Mac, and when I opened the ntfs app to see the hard drive i saw a some drive I don’t recognise with a name I never saw and the title virtual disk under it. Someone knows what is this thing?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 9

"plugged out my WD hard drive " as in unplugged...(?)


Verify your third party NTFS software is up to date and compatible



I suspect that drive is failing/or corrupted, you can try running DiskUtility.app> First Aid on it if it is mountable.

The resolve would be to replace the drive if no success.
