I was able to put data on it successfully, however overnite I had a power failure. Now I am unable to mount the drive. The blue light is on, so it seems to be getting power but the computer does not see it when I plug in the USB cable. I can not run fsck because the system says /dev/da0s1d no such file or directory. I tried da0s1, da0s1c, and da0s1d no luck. I also tried to plug the disk into another machine, same thing the disk is not recognized. Is it totally gone? Any help to recover this disk would be really appreciated. TIA
