The situation
I have a USB-C Samsung external drive. I bought a USB-A adapter adapter for it so that I can plug it into my new Raspberry Pi 4. It is running Raspbian OS with the latest updates. My Pi is connected via wired connection.
What happens
As soon as I plug the external drive into the Pi, my Pi loses its network connection.
- I can't SSH to it
- My Router doesn't have it in its DHCP table
What I've Tried
- I have tried plugging in the drive multiple times.
- I have tried rebooting the Pi.
- I have tried plugging the drive into a different port.
