I plug in an external 1TB Crucial X8 portable SSD via USB but the OS can’t detect it. I used to use the SSD as external storage for a PS4. I can plug it into my phone and a Chromebook and both detect the drive automatically. I’ve tried reformatting the drive via my phone and the Chromebook, I have connected it via 3 different USB ports, and tried another USB cable, all with no success.
What else can I try?
No, I keep it updated
are exfat-fuse or exfatprogs packages installed?
Can the popOS install format the USB? is it listed in lsusb?
popOS cannot format the drive, at least, it cannot see it in Disks. lsusb shows the drive
Bus 001 Device 021: ID 0634:5600 Micron Technology, Inc. Crucial X8 SSD
Does lsblk list a block dev for it?
