Hi nogoats,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that after the most recent update to macOS Catalina your external hard drive isn't detected by your Mac. I can see why you'd reach out about this; I'd like to help. I'd recommend reviewing the information in the following resource; the title doesn't match to your situation exactly, but the steps and information can help: If a Mac accessory needs more power or is using too much power


If you continue to have trouble, use these steps to reset the SMC and NVRAM of your Mac:

Let me know what you find.



Best Regards.

Hi nogoats,


Thanks for working through those steps. Per the LaCie Support website, Rugged drives are supported in Catalina: Compatibility with macOS 10.15 - Catalina


If possible, you may want to test the drive with another device to verify it's still working properly as well.


Since you continue to have trouble with the drive being recognized, reaching out to Apple for assistance would be the best next step: Contact Support



Take Care.
