First try on a second PC with a separate USB cable, second, does it appear in disk management or device manager?

yes and forget to say

i think that 50% of my issue depends of the connection with cable,
because when sometimes i plug it in and move cable (just a little) - sometimes the hdd start work and my pc can't see it
and sometimes it connected and get to me the sound of the issue

i know that sound starts earlier when the pc haven't power to start properly the hdd
