My machine is not recognizing 2 external drives maybe started after install of Ventura 13.3.1

Have had both drives for some time and were working fine (WD Elements 8TB and Seagate Backup Plus 6TB) . They both had access via NTFS and are connected via USB. Both show up under the Disk Utility, but won't mount. I have a third drive (Sandisk 1TB SSD) connected via thunderbolt that is not affected. I tried rebooting drives, and Mac, as well as plugging each drive directly into the Mac instead of through hub with no success. Also checked the finder settings to ensure that External Disks is checked. Since they are both behaving the same, I think it must be something with the settings or the OS update. I don't access the drives every day, so I am not exactly sure when it came up, just noticed a couple of days ago which coincides roughly with when I ran the OS update.
