Windows Server 2019 Standard External Hard Drive
We have Windows 2019 Server Standard and we are looking for an external hard drive to backup our files just in case something happens. We have tried a 4TB Western Digital Passport but it doesn't work with Windows 2019 Server Standard for some reason.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Zero reasons why this should not work. What do you mean when you say it "doesn't work"? It doesn't show up in disk management? It doesn't show up in Windows explorer? Doesn't spin up?
(When I say zero reasons, I mean there are no technical reasons why you couldn't use that drive on this particular server. Obviously if it doesn't work there is a reason, like to drive being bad, etc.)
