Troubleshooting • Re: RP4 not detecting External HDD

Is this a power issue?

Possibly, possibly not. In the words of Number Two "We want information":

• Did you mean Raspberry Pi OS? Raspbian is not the same thing.
• What are you using to power your Pi
• What else do you have connected to it?
• What's the output from

  Code:

  cat /etc/os-release

• Does the drive show in the output from

  Code:

  lsusb

• Does it show in the output from

  Code:

  lsblk

• Are there any drive or USB related errors in the output of

  Code:

  dmesg

• Has the drive been formatted and if so with which filesystem?
• Is your Pi booting to the desktop or to the command line? With or without automatic login?
• How much power does the drive need?

FYI, the maximum total current available for USB devices connected to a 4B is 1.2A/6W and that assume you have a good quality 3A PSU.
