Thanks, Chris.

Nope - not a spinning disk drive. 1TB SSD.

Figured it out. Had to install the software via Mac Mini first, then plug into iPad. Won't work with a hub.

Works fine plugged directly plugged into the iPad and shows up in files. Whew. :)

See if this guide helps, Connect external storage devices to iPad - Apple Support

Is this a physical drive? In other words, is there a disk inside that drive that is spinning? It may be the iPad does not have the power to handle powering the drive and the iPad. You may need a powered hub to use to connect that device to the iPad.
