Usb mass, it is simple USB bridge answering to your TV , but SATA drive doesn't respond. Bin it, it is gone. Internal mechanical problem is not repairable. Only data recovery is possible, but will cost like 5 those drives. I hope you don't have anything important on it, so forget and keep moving further.
