iPad IPAD Pro 13.1.2 External SSD Drive Problem

[Johnrjrj9595]

I have a Scandisk Extreme 1tb external HD. I’ve bought the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. I‘ve tried using with external power and without. I can‘t my iPad to see the drive. Any suggestions?

Connect the external HD to a powered (active) USB hub and connect the hub to the Lightning to USB 3 Camera adapter.

Probably all external hard drives (mechanical and SSD), and most thumb drives, will require external power to work in iOS 13 or iPadOS 13.
