Has anyone experienced the following issue? If yes, where you able to recover your data? Any ideas to help me recover my data are appreciated!
When attempting to connect my external SSD (SanDisk 4TB Extreme PRO Pro SSD V2) today I received the following error code: "The disk you attached was not readable by this computer". With the option to "Eject", "Ignore", or "Initialize...".
Computer details: MacBook Pro M1 16in, 2021, macOS Monterey 12.0.1
The drive is relatively new, purchased in January 2023, worked from purchase until this evening. Worked fine the last time I plugged it in a couple days ago.

Steps taken so far:
- Restarted my computer after selecting "Eject" from error code pop-up window
- Received same error message after restarting
- I plugged in a different external drive to my computer
- The different drive was able to be read with no issues.
- I also tried the drive in question on my wife's computer,
- Received same error message
- Clicked "Initialize.." on error code pop-up window
- Took me to "Disk Utility" app
- Ran "First Aid" on external drive
- Received the following message after running "First Aid": "First Aid process has failed. If possible back up the data on this volume. Click Done to continue"
