Lacie not mounting w/ Thunderbolt

[Oktober]

For some reason my Lacie 3TB external HDD will now not mount to my iMac when I connect via Thunderbolt cable - The hard drive light flashes and that is all. However, when I connect via USB cable all is fine.

The Lacie is formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Any help and advice on how I can fix this issue, that would be great.

The iMac is the one in your signature? What model year? What model and year Lacie external HDD? Connected via Thunderbolt 1/2/3 ? Any adapters or docks in the mix?

Try another TB cable maybe.
The drive sounds fine if it works with USB.

Apologies all. yes the Mac in question is the one listed in my signature, late-2015 27” iMac 5k running Monterey (which I have just done a fresh install of OSX Monterey - latest update).

The Lacie hard drive is a LaCieD2 3TB thunderbolt 2 (see attached pictures).

As the drive works fine connected via usb, there must be a problem with the thunderbolt side of things. But the light flashes on the LaCie when connected via thunderbolt.

The front of my LaCie just flashes blue when connected via thunderbolt (and USB - when active)
