SSD not being recognised on Mac after being used on a PC?

Any ideas as to why after I've been preparing music in Rekordbox on my Windows PC does it take about 2 hours for the same drive to be recognised on my Macbook?

Sometimes its recognised slightly quicker....

  • I have a 2TB Sandisk Extreme SSD that I use for both platforms
  • Formatted ExFat 
  • Windows 10
  • Macbook Air 2020
  • Mac Catalina
  • Rekordbox 6.2

This is when I try to eject my drive from my Windows PC, no programs are running at all, Rekordbox is inactive yet its saying its using a program and therefore I cant eject it, its also the same on my Macbook, says its still being used by a program despite nothing running and Rekordbox disabled?

What's curious is Windows thinks it's a SCSI device...

Both Mac and Windows will read an exFAT drive, however exFAT is not supported as an export device file format, only FAT32 and HFS+ are available. You can use the exFAT as a music source drive, but I'm not sure why the OS is not playing nice with it on either platform.
