So. I spend 90 euro’s on a normal usb-c hyperdrive hub, have been using it for 2 months with no problem, suddenly i wanted just game a bit and use my external ssd for the games. The hyperdrive did not work. It didn’t matter what i was trying, resetting the smc did not work.
please help.
Traditional things like SMC reset (on M1+ Mac) does nothing. That feature
was superseded by different new hardware; and does not need or use it.
"Apple's support has said that the M1 Macs should do something similar to
a SMC reset by shutting down the computer and leaving it turned off for at
least 30 seconds before turning it on again." ~ according to MacWorld UK
Sometimes simply to restart your Mac computer & choose Safe mode,
could help. If push comes to shove, you may have to try something else.
[This may be too much something else, but it's out there.]

And this may be a bridge too far. Your Mac may do OK by simply restart in Safe mode
&/or troubleshooting in Safe mode, to see what else happens. A trial-and-error event.
Certain following apps &/or utilities are available to use via startup in macOS Recovery.

You could also reinstall the macOS; that may also be curious, and perhaps ineffectual.
At times, may require Disk Utility to fix issues in the drive. And troubleshooting a Mac.
These instructions are spelled out within above article.
