My external hard drive is not working on my blue rayplayer

The only caveat to that is that I hadn't used either of the drives for two or three weeks before installing 10.9. Select the Hardware tab on the System Properties dialog.

Since the problem appeared to start with Mountain Lion and affects both drives, software would seem the most likely cause- except that it can't boot from distribution media. Right click on the My Computer icon and select Properties in the sub menu. Whatever's wrong, perhaps it has something to do with optical disc media sensing. Last of all, (with power off) I unplugged the Blu-ray's SATA cable and connected one from a loose SATA hard drive. (SuperDrive only) Tray automatically reopens.Some sounds from drive, then -> 'Status: No Disc'.With the Macbook Air I tried using an adapter that appears to be USB-A to USB-C. On the iMac it connects to a USB port and gets its power from the iMac. Im trying to get it to work with my new Macbook Air with the M1 chip, Big Sur 11.0. Insert media, close tray -> 'Status: Waiting.' I have an external blu-ray player that works with my late-2015 iMac running Big Sur.The sequence is the same for either drive: In Toast Titanium 11's Recorder Settings window you can watch the media-loaded status of a drive. With just the Blu-ray connected (Superdrive disconnected), the only thing different is that the drive doesn't unload automatically. No matter what I load, the drive just unloads after making some noises. After boot from hard disk (10.9) it can't access any type of media-blank, factory pressed, or burned at home.Like any media I try in this drive, the drive makes some noises and the tray opens up. Can't boot from this system's original distribution DVD (Leopard 10.5.6).Using system's original Superdrive (third party Blu-ray disconnected): It's hard to be absolutely certain that they spin any more than that, but I suspect they do. I know for certain that the drives are rotating the media at least a small distance-when ejecting media, it isn't in the same rotational position as when I loaded it. Theories on this is appreciated cause Im not sure what happened. So a direct connection to the OTG Y cable wasnt working, but apparently putting a USB Hub in the connection chain worked. We've already tried resetting PRAM and the SMC, so moving on from there: I connected the 3.5 External Hard Drive to the USB Hub, then connected the USB Hub to the OTG Y Cable and it worked. Now that is done with but Christmas still awaits so time is limited. Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose File > Refresh InformationДVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW Write Strategies:ДњD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO For each drive I merged the Disc Burning and Sata sections.Д«urn Support: Yes (Generic Drive Support)ДVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RAM, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW I'll try disconnecting the Blu-Ray next time I power the system down. I've tried at least three different commercial disks (one of which was an OS X distro DVD, the others music and software CDs) but neither drive recognizes them.
