I had force shutdown my imac and my g-tech drive now is not showing up anymore. Cable is fine and I used a different usb port. The external drive is still not showing.

Whenever you connect an external drive to your mac, the storage drive may not show up on Desktop, Finder or even on Disk Utility due to various reasons:
- USB connectivity problem
- MacOS preference settings
- Partition map damage
- Device incompatibility
- Physical damage on a drive

Thanks everyone for your help. I took the drive apart to see if there was anything wrong with the drive physically and when I put all back again it worked fine. I ran a bunch of diagnostic tests and it all came back with no problems. The drive has not given me any problems since.
