RF interference is common. I have a USB3 drive on my desk, and if I turn
it on all the nearby Hue lights go “Not Responding” for the duration.

If HomeKit doesn’t work but the Hue app does, that’s a strong hint that
some network device (router, switch) isn’t properly handling mDNS traffic.

That's what I suspect is going on.

Did you try a different cable?

If the drive has its own power supply, then perhaps change the power supply.

It’s the only USB3 drive I own (blue connector), so no. It’s a backup
drive I use once a month, I just leave it turned off.
