Hi, why I can't see my sandisk extreme SSD drive in Files app on my iPad pro? SSD disk is formatted inMac OS journaled encrypted. Isn't it strange that Mac OS format is not possible to open in apple device?
Thank you
iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular
You may need to purchase the actual, genuine Apple USB-C multi adapter adapter, from Apple.
OR
This Apple adapter
You NEED TO PURCHASE THIS EXACT genuine Apple adapter!!
This is THE ONLY adapter that works!
Cheaper ( cheap in price and quality ) third party adapters WILL NOT WORK!!!!
For the record I am using Hyper drive which works well with normal hard drive (formatted in ExFat) and usb flesh drives.But it does not work with SSD formetted in Mac OS journaled encrypted extended..
Instead of insisting on nonsense.(Cheaper ( cheap in price and quality ) third party adapters WILL NOT WORK!!!!)
Go get ipad pro for yourself and try connect encrypted SSD disk. Or at least read online polls.
Mac OS Extended Encrypted, Journaled (GUID): you get an error message
Mac OS Extended Encrypted, Case-sensitive, Journaled (GUID): you get an error message
APFS Encrypted (GUID): silently fails, not detected
APFS Encrypted, Case-sensitive (GUID): silently fails, not detected
NTFS: you get an error message
here is whre you can read it:

The video you send show only 2 SSD disk connection. With no description on file format of SSD disk. And as I have written before SSD works unless it is ENCRYPTED!!!!. In that case it does not works. My question is why?? even APFS apple file system works only UNENCRYPTED!!!.
Despite the welcome introduction of support for external storage devices, iPadOS still has limitations in that it can only support specific formats/filesystems. These are FAT, FAT32 and exFAT (i.e., FAT64); encrypted filesystems are not supported.
Hope this provides some needed clarity.
Good question! I have. 6th gen iPad but not iPad Pro!
I went to Apple today and we tried all the connectors - nothing worked. He says my ssd disc requires too much power which my iPad cannot provide - also not my iPhone X. The conclusion is the iPad Pro has more power.bad luck for me.
now seeing other responses - my disc is formatted Mac OS Extended Journaled. Is that a problem?
cheers
Yes it is. As for your device requiring too much power, the iPad is very limited in the power it can provide to the external USB-connected device.
Devices should be entirely self-powered - or must either be powered by a connected (self powered) USB hub, or from the Apple adapter itself (i.e., is itself connected to a suitably powerful PSU). The Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter is designed for this purpose in that it has the additional power connector on the body of the adapter.
I have a samsung portable SSD T5 drive with usb c. My ipad does not recognise it with 3rd party usb c to ipad lightning plug. The adaptors you suggest would not connect.
What iPad model do you own?
Plenty of YouTube videos showing that portable SSDs work with your iPad model using that very adapter.
IPad OS does not recognise SSD disk formatted in Mac OS journaled encrypted
