Mounting a 6Tb External USB drive takes at least about 20 minutes.
I have it plugged in directly at the back of the Mac.
Is there a way to speed this up?

Hello,
  • Which exact model Mac?
  • What version of OS X/macOS?
  • What brand/model is the external drive?
  • What version of USB - 2.0, 3.0, USB-C, etc.?
  • Is it partitioned in any way?
  • Do you have any antivirus of storage software installed?
