M2 ventura 13.5.1 exfat issues- help! (please)

[Splashboy3]

Is anyone having trouble mounting exfat drives with an m2 using ventura 13.5.1?

 

My gf uses big sur and her samsung T7 (that was originally formatted exfat with a windows computer, I think) shows up just fine on her 2014 intel mac.

 

However; with my m2 max using ventura 13.5.1, that drive appears for like 2 seconds, then disappears. So goddamn annoying. What is causing this? Any help would be most appreciated.

 

I am aware exfat is shit and I shouldn't use it b/c it doesn't have journaling.

I believe exfat has always had issues with Mac OS. Strange that its not showing up at all with the m2. You could try going into Disk Utilities but honestly I'd just use a different format.
