Extreme SSD: This accessory requires too much power

When I connect my SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD to my 10.5 inch IPad Pro using the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter I get the message “Extreme SSD: This accessory requires too much power.” This happens even though the I have power connected to the lightning slot on the Adapter. The SSD is formatted in exFAT as well. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Your power adapter should be rated at least 12W. Depending upon the power needs of the attached USB Storage device, you may still need to connect your iPad to the SSD via a powered USB Hub.
