Why is my external hard drive not detected by Discs in Fedora 41?

I have been having this problem where a Seagate Expansion external hard drive is not detected by Discs (Only the main computer's device is visible). I tried rebooting the machine and running dmesg -w then I manually plugged the external drive in, got the following entries in the log: [ 58.549452] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd [ 58.753681] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bc2, idProduct=231a, bcdDevice= 7.12 [ 58.753688] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 58.753691] usb 3-1: Product: Expansion [ 58.753693] usb 3-1: Manufactur
