[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1787128, member: 46727"] How old is the Toshiba drive? You could have had a coincidental failure of the drive and not related to High Sierra. Sometimes a major macOS update will set off an internal drive to fail because of all the additional activity when updating, however, that would have nothing to do with an external drive failure. If your Toshiba drive will not mount at all, no software is going to be able to read from it. And the cost of software such as Drive Genius or Disk Warrior is as much as replacing the drive with a new one. Besides, a drive that has failed is not safe to use for any future backups. If the drive is still under warranty you may be able to get a RMA from Toshiba. [/QUOTE]
