![]() ![]() 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).

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.
