iPhone won’t recognize external hard drive

Hey so I got an external hard drive recently, and today I tried to plug in into my phone to record ProRes at 4k 60 fps, but I guess since it’s not a powered hard drive, my phone won’t recognize it as even being plugged in. I’ve tried to third party it by plugging it into a powered usb c hub, then into my phone, but it still won’t recognize it (even though it recognizes a plugged in sd card). Is there a workaround or will this possibly be fixed in an update? Any help would be great

The drive is 4Tb SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
