How do I connect my m1 ipad pro 4th generation to 2 different LaCie Rugged thunderbolt 2 drives. I have tried the Apple adapter to TB2 to TB3 but the drive do not mount. I added a power cord to the drive but still no connection.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14
Hey Windwalkercj,
It sounds like you're trying to connect external hard drives to your iPad. We can understand wanting to get that resolved. We want to help.
We'd recommend the steps in this article: Connect external storage devices to iPad
Thanks!
Mario,
The issue is that a LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt 2 drive has a different connector then USB-C. I bought the Apple adpter for thunderbolt to USB-C , the drive still will not mount even with power provided to the drive. I tired it with an Anker 8 in 1 hub, the hub that had a 100w power supply, no mount. Anker says they do not support Thunderbolt 2 drives. I get a message that Tunderbolt 2 is not supported when using that hub. Both of my drives worked fine on my iMac, but I no longer have that available and I need the files for a big project with a deadline next weekend.
Hey Windwalkercj,
Thanks for those details.
For further assistance, we'd suggest contacting Apple Support here: Get Support
Thanks!
