Hello.

Is it supposed to take a long time for macOSes (updated Big Sur v11.x 
and Mojave v10.4.6) to finally see an USB3 4 TB HDD's encrypted 
partitions (macOS+Journaled and APFS)? ExFAT (no encryption) always 
mount right away, but the other ones take like a minute or more to be 
seen and ask me to enter their passwords to mount. This is with a month 
old external Seagate HDD 
(http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Portable-External-Hard-Drive/dp/B07VS8QCXC/) 
with three partitions (exFAT, encrypted macOS+Journaled, and encrypted 
APFS -- http://imgur.com/a/DUFXWmK from macOS Mojave v10.4.6's Disk 
Utilty v18 app when partitions are not mounted, partitioned, and 
formatted).

Thank you for reading. :)
