That external 1TB SSD, Use too much powers of the iPhone, Meaning that it can drain even more the battery, The phone is refusing to send Power to the device, That's the problem, For now there's no solution for this(I think) more than, Connect it to a Computer or a laptop, And browse from there your files, If you want to use a Portable Device i would recommend you to buy a 128GB USB Sandisk with port for Lighting, I use that to browse my files in iPhone and iPad, Have a nice day!
