Disk Erase Failed
Hello,
I have 1TB WD external hard drive connected directly to my macbook pro, I have always used it without problems, but recently it was not recognized! I went to disk utility to format the drive but I get "Disk Erase failed" "Disk Erase failed with the error: unable to write to the last block of the device", I tried going to partition but it also gave the same answer. The status of the disk in the bottom are as follows:
