external ssd with iPad not working

Hi, I am having problems trying to use my external ssd (Samsung t7) with my iPad Pro.


The device shows up in the files app but when I add files from my iPad to the ssd, the next time I plug in the ssd the files have disappeared.

I have added files to the ssd from my pc and they have stayed on the device and can be accessed from the iPad.

The ssd has been formatted to exFAT through my pc before use on the iPad.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15
