* Macbook pro latest OSWhat Mac? What version of the operating system? Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Does the drive attach to any other computer? What brand/size/model drive? Do you get any error messages when you try to attach it? Does the drive have it's own power supply, or is it depending on the USB port?
That could well be the issue. I don't really understand what you mean by "media to convert," but if the cable is ok (proven by being able to connect to another computer), then the most likely culprit is this "media."it is connected by USB 2 with media to convert from usb2 to USB C
