I have a WD My Passport Wireless Pro. For some time, the filesystem cannot be mounted by the operating system. It says, “Western Digital My Passport Wireless has been connected” but no filesystem is showing up.
As I am on Linux (Manjaro on KDE) I watched dmesg -w, which shows:
[14712.281889] usb 3-6: new high-speed USB device number 19 using xhci_hcd

Sometimes the following errors occur before the line with ready:
[294244.142553] ses 0:0:0:1: Wrong diagnostic page; asked for 1 got 8
[294244.142557] ses 0:0:0:1: Failed to get diagnostic page 0x1
[294244.142561] ses 0:0:0:1: Failed to bind enclosure -19
Does somebody have recommendations for what I could do to be able to use this drive again? I do not really need the data on the drive (although it would be nice to access them), but I would be happy if the drive could be repaired
