External SSD with no Write mode just read permmited


Guys, I have an SSD which I connect via usb.
It apparently mounts and shows me the directories inside it.
Only it won't let me write in it anymore.
When I run the command:

sudo lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,FSTYPE,SIZE,LABEL,UUID,MOUNTPOINT
Eu obtenho o seguinte
NAME TYPE FSTYPE SIZE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT
loop0 loop squashfs 4K /snap/bare/5
loop1 loop squashfs 114.9M /snap/core/13741
loop2 loop squashfs 115M /snap/core/13886

loop4 loop squashfs 63.2M /snap/core20/1623

But when I go to check fstab it doesn't show up there:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda3 during installation

# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installation

# /home was on /dev/sdb1 during installation

# swap was on /dev/sda2 during installation
UUID=dfbbfaff-33f4-4ca8-b9a8-1a55c779cdcd none swap sw 0 0

Even if I try to mount it with the command:

nogueira@Nitro5:~$ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/nogueira/SSD
mount: /media/nogueira/SSD: /dev/sde1 already mounted in /media/nogueira/SSD.

It informs me that the directory is already mounted in /media/nogueira/SSD

How could i solve this?

I Thank in advance for any help.

It will not show there. You are confused about fstab. I suggest you read about fstab; search for it.

Your external disk automounts, probably with the file manager, therefore you do not need to issue the mount command.

Edit. Try to use code tags for the output of your commands you are posting.

Possibly a permission problem, not owned by your user account, therefore, if you use sudo (or the root account) you can write to it - you will need to alter the permissions to your user account, if you want to write to it regularly.

Sometimes a pendrive just does that. It happened to me recently; an old drive that I've used for a long time for miscellaneous file dumps suddenly couldn't be mounted r/w on either of my machines. Even "sudo mount -o remount,rw" didn't work. Google says that these drives protect themselves when they can't be written to safely any more.

Is your drive an old one? Have you been using it intensively?
