What type of hard drive, what type of cable, which port if you have a Pi 4B, what enclosure do you have the hard drive mounted in, which model Pi, running which version of Raspbian?

For sure USB connected storage (USB thumb drive, SSD, real hard drive) all work when configured and connected correctly. However, without more detailed information is is very difficult to guess what your issue may be. Some USB-SATA interfaces do not play well with Pi's.
