I had the same situation on a 12TB WD External drive. and the ONLY way I was able to recover the most important files was to connect the USB3 to my iPad, and then move the files over to my iCloud Drive. VERY SLOW extremely time consuming. Afterwhich I tried to fix the drive with command line and software utilities Then finally gave up and reformatted it. Total bummer.
