Hi, I am trying to read a external USB SSD drive but I cannot mount it. The file system on this drive is exFat. Is there a driver or software available to read/write on such file system? Thank you. Nicky ---

Hi, > [@](#): > > Is there a driver or software available to read/write on such file system? I don’t know if this applies to all distros etc., but usually exfat-utils does the trick, at least it did for me.
