I'm running Ventura (13.1) and I'm using the original cable plugged directly into my intel-based iMac (2020). I've tried using a different cable, different port and a hub.
The device appears in Disk Utility about 12-13 seconds after I start the upload and appears in Finder at the same time the compiling and uploading actually begins (20-25s).
I only see a single log containing "fsck": "fsck status 0 /dev/rdisk2s1".
Restarting my computer and the device had no affect. I have not tried a factory reset.
