Do you know what file system your New and Photo drives are using? If
they're formatted either FAT or exFAT they should be compatible with
both MAC and Windows machines. Then you could plug the Photo drive into
a Windows machine and see if it's readable.

Well, I'm talking about flash, and according to Boz's site, the Super

A very nice set of photos. The subjects were obviously chosen carefully, and
the framing is excellent. Most intriguing to me is the pallet. The colors
displayed in the set just work together so nice, and their beauty is
complemented by careful and correct rendering. Well done.

Sounds like a hardware failure. I don't know the answer it depends on
exactly what part of the hardware failed and when. Recovering the data
may be expensive, if it's possible at all. It all depends on what
failed, when, and how.
