I totally understand, because in most cases when you connect an external hard disk you most likely want to transfer or retrieve some information right away, but due to technical issues it is not possible to do so. I too have been looking for reasons for these problems for a long time. In the blog https://setapp.com/how-to/how-to-acc...ognized-on-mac, I learned that there can be several reasons why an SSD does not display. I have eliminated all possible causes except one, which is NVRAM. On Apple Silicon computers, NVRAM works differently and does not require a manual reset. But since I have a fairly ancient computer, I had to sweat a bit.
