I left it in background for about 30 min.s. Mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not existīut it stays with no output forever. There it is! ('sata bridge' used to appear in a windows notification when I plugged in the HDD in!).This means that Ubuntu detects it but is it not mounting it? The difference was Bus 001 Device 012: ID 14cd:6116 Super Top M6116 SATA Bridge.
Summary: video explaining the solutionįollowing the first link, I input sudo lsusb in a terminal before and after connecting the HDD. I have two Ubuntu computers and it's not detected on either. It works perfectly fine on Windows (which excludes cable and hardware problems).
