My  external hard drive not working/responding error without losing any data. my external hard drive is not working, fails to respond or becomes undetectable, It’s not the first time that my external hard drive, USB drive, SD card or other storage devices not responding while connecting with PC. my external hard drive suddenly cannot be detected or recognized by  PC and laptop. I am worry about this condition and also bought new external hard drive and connect to PC and also laptop but same problem occur again so anyone can explain to me to resolve this problem because I am in troubling.
 
Thanks.

your external drive caddy may be at fault, not the external drive itself.
take it out of the caddy and try another one or connect it directly to your PC via the internal SATA and power cables.

as to data recovery, never a quick or guaranteed process, but try Recuva by Piriform.
