I have ywo older external USB hard drives, one of them I think I had used as Time Machine backup for my Catalina iMac. The other one, I'm not sure what I had on it. One of the driveswas a 2-disk RAID which I used in Mirrored mode.
Now half a year later, I connect both drives to my new M2 Mac mini, and I get the error:
(The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.)
I clicked "Eject" and connected the two drives to the old iMac. - There I get the same error message! Very concerning! Drives corrupted? I am skeptical about this because two drives show this behaviour at the same time...
In Disk Utility the three disks (two from one drive and one from the other drive) show up like this:
How to explain it? Are both drives still ok, just some macOS updates got in the way? If so, with what tool can I read the drives again. Or are both drives really corrupted? How can I check?
Thanks for any pointers!
