The devices works fine with other things, cord isn't the issue, just the god damn MacBook. Wondering if its a known issue

Mount dozens of drives a day to various Mac's and do not have issues depending on the format of the drive. So that is what I would check, the drive format. And it is Mac, the cord absolutely could be an issue. Mac will want a proper TB3 cable not just a USB-C one. Mac and finicky go hand in hand.
