Is the drive being powered from the USB or external source? Chances are that the drive isn’t getting enough power through the onboard USB.

From the USB, as it’s the only available connection.

I’m not sure it’s actually possible to just connect a drive to the rpi? I tried now with a HDD with external power and it’s not recognized either.

Would really like it though!
