The drive that does NOT work is 4TB exFAT. 

The same drive, in the same enclosure, worked when it was formatted HFS+. I had to reformat it since I couldn't write to it when it was formatted HFS+

The 4TB exFAT works fine on Mac machines when plugged directly to the machine (both Macbook Pro and iMac Pro).

 

I have tested another drive that is 8TB HFS+ which works fine (as read only).

My apologies, what is the model of the 4TB. Once I get that I will look into it to see what I can find.

The enclosure is a OWC Mercury Elite Pro.

 

Inside is a WD Red drive.

Same issue here. I plugged in an external hard disk drive and then the A20 just started constantly and consistently power cycling.

 

Its a WD My Book 10TB with its own dedicated power supply.

The problem was solved when I convereted the drive to NTFS. Kind of a drag since I'm entirely Mac but it seemed to be the only solution.

 

I now have a new issue with it, which is that I can't access the drive from machines running Catalina.
