My external LaCie has suddenly stopped showing on the desktop. The light on the drive is on. I tried different ports and different cables. It is not "seen" in disk utility.

If your Mac asks you to allow an accessory to connect - Apple Support
Excerpt from link above
When you use a new or unknown USB accessory, Thunderbolt accessory, or SD card with your ➡️ Mac laptop with Apple silicon ⬅️ and macOS Ventura or later,
There seems to be an issue with all external USB devices after Ventura updates. There is a dialog that pops up asking for permission to allow an external USB device to connect, however that dialog disappears before you can act.
To fix this go to System Settings> Privacy & Security > Allow accessories to connect and select the option for Automatically When Unlocked
This will allow the disk to connect without needing that dialog box.
1 - In Finder >> Setting and External Drive enabled ?
2 - Is the Drive Directly connect to the computer ? No USB Hub involved.
3 - In what Drive format is the Lacie drive ? HFS Journaled, APFS, ExFat, Fat, NTFS
