When you connect an external hard drive on Mac, it will show up on Desktop, Finder, and Disk Utility. But sometimes the external drive won’t appear on any of these places. To fix the issue, you can try the below methods:

1. Change MacOS settings under Finder preferences
2. Reset (NVRAM/PRAM/SMC) Mac firmware settings
3. Fix external hard drive connectivity issue
4. Mount or Repair the external hard drive using Disk Utility

Further, I suggest you to check the below link for detailed steps to be followed in each method above.
