Portable disks tend to be very fragile, regardless of what the store may tell you. If it's dropped or hit it may die. When using portable disks solid state is always best.
That being said, I found this on an Apple support forum:
Plug in the external disk, make sure it sounds like the disk is spinning up. If not then the following will fail and the disk is likely bad.
In Disk Utility (Utilities folder) select the drive in the left column (the drive, all the way at the left, not the volume indented below it).
At the bottom of the window make sure "S.M.A.R.T. Status" shows "Verified". This means the drive is not indicating any hardware errors.
In the "First Aid" tab, click the "Verify" button to check the directory structure.
If these tests fail the disk or cable is probably defective. If it's still under warranty take it back, quick. If not it may be trash. Run the tests first and see what happens. Also, try it on a Windows PC to see if it works there.
