iomega Hard Drive Advice

Hi,


I'm new to the forum, hello all!


I have an old iomega hard drive previously paired with a Mac mini, not used for a number of years but kept safe. Today connected to my new MacBook Air M3 but nothing has happened, not showing in disc utility/finder. Tried a restart but didn't help.


Keen to transfer some old photo's etc over.


Is there anything I can try to resolve or is it a case of the drive being too old? I'm running Mac OS Sequoia 15.2.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.2

Hello and welcome!


Any information about the exact external hard drive model (see label) and its connection method? Also, how was the disk formatted (file system)?


The model/year of the old Mac mini?

Do you still have access to that computer?
