Hello, I have recently updated my iPad Pro M1 (2021) to iPadOS 16. After updating Samsung T5 SSD is not connecting to it. The SSD is Formatted in exFAT. The SSD is working on other devices. How can I solve it?

If formatted correctly, your SSD should be recognised by your iPad. Ensure that the connected SSD storage has only a single data partition.
If you are able, try connecting via a powered USB hub. If the SSD works with the hub - and not when directly connected to the iPad - then the problem is likely to be power-related.

Are you connecting your SSD via USB-C hub?
Some reports have been seen of issues with some USB-C hubs not being recognised by the iPad after update to iPadOS16.1. The common factor, to date, is that the affected USB Hubs are not explicitly stated as being compatible with iPad by the hub manufacturer.
A forced restart of your iPad may be helpful - as this will often clear a post-update software or performance issue:
No, I’m connecting the SSD with Apple’s official type c cable. It was working till iPadOS 15.7, but now I’m unable to access my file on my SSD.
