I also have the T5 500gb drive and I have 5 different cables of varying quality and speeds and each does the exact same thing. Sometimes it mounts on boot, most times it doesn't, regardless of the cable used. If the cable was the problem, then why would the steps I have given mount the drive every time regardless of what cable I used, but not when I just turn on the camera?
If it were a hardware problem, then why would it mount properly and consistently when I connect after the camera is turned on, but not when it is plugged in prior to boot? This is consistently the case across forums and social media so if one individual's 500gb t5 is mounting without any issues whatsoever then that would be quite strange.
Regardless, from what I can tell, all of this points to a software problem and from what I understand BMD is looking into a software fix.
