How on earth is this marked “solved”? The issue - Monterey has hosed compatibility with many, but not all, USB-C external drives - persists, even for KRisseeuw. USB-C drive did not work with either Time Machine or Disk Utility (see below). I had several issues with external USB drives, Disk Utility and Time Machine on a new MacBook Pro M1 Max with Monterey 12.0.1. If you merged all the threads on this forum, and the Apple Developer forum, you'd likely have several thousand unhappy customers - many of whom, like me, purchased their now useless external drives through the Apple Store.ġ. Apple owns this, and needs to address it.

But this is an Apple-related screw-up, and won t likkely be solved without their intervention in an iterative update to Monterey. There have been various 'fixes' floating about, most of which I've tried. (Except that it's not hosed: it works erfectly when I hook it p to my son's 2016 MBP running Big Sur.) The only differences aside from size is that one was manufactured in 2019 (2TB, astill working fine) and the other, a 2020 build, is hosed. My experience: 2020 iMac (Intel, not M1 or M2), connected to two G-DRIVE mobile USB-C externals, one used for Photos (2TB) and the other used exclusively for Time Machine backus (4TB).

From mount issues to slow downs, the install of Monterey is the root cause.Īpple Support will likely tell you that your drive has failed, and that this is entirely coincidental to the update. The interwebs are littered with people who have had issues with peripherals (mainly external drives, often connected via USB-C) that struck immediately after installing 12.0.1. The workaround as highlighted above solved it for the moment.ĭoubt it. I am guessing it has to do with MacOS Monterey. Time Machine backups worked fine after that.ĭeducting from this, I see that it is not a hardware issue as much as a software issue, affecting both Time Machine and Disk Utility. After this treatment, the drive worked well with my new MacBook. Here the external SSD could properly mount and erasing + partitioning worked within 30 seconds. Workaround: I could solve it by using a Mac Mini 2018 with USB-C-Port, running MacOS Big Sur. I tried everything I knew, called Apple Support, but nothing worked (safe mode didn't work). The Disk mounted, but Time Machine did not work, nor could I erase the drive with Disk Utility. Today I purchased a new SanDisk with USB-C connection to make a proper Time Machine backup. USB-C drive did not work with either Time Machine or Disk Utility (see below).USB3-drives are not properly recognized.
