LaCie not recognised_Sonoma_14.6.1

Hi all,

I'm having this problem with my 1TB LaCie harddrive not being recognised by my Mac. Currently on Sonoma 14.6.1, but this has been an issue for over a month or so. I thought it was my cable or the port, etc. Nope. It's the Mac not recognising it. I tried going through System Information -> USB. Not there. I tried changing from 'volumes' to 'Show all devices' in Disk Utility. Nothing. What's the current word/update on this? I work at a University and LaCie harddrives are our go-to external storage option.
