When connecting an external hard drive to my Mac mini my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse keeping dropping their connection. This does not occur when the external hard drive is not connected.
Mac mini, macOS 10.14
Upgrade to Big Sur latest, should fix. If not, post details on your hard drive here. Good luck!

USB 3 is known to interfere with 2.4ghz RF wifi which will also include bluetooth.
What model is your mini?
OWC used to sell a kit to reduce the interference.
Thanks for your reply. My Mac mini is a 2018 model.
I did view the video about the shielding. Do you know if Apple can preform a fix for this issue?
Thanks
The upgrade to Big Sur was the fix to my problem.
