Updated the os and the external drives both are thunderbolt3, no longer show up or connect to the iMac. If I boot up in Safe Mode, they appear ok. Once I restart in normal mode they don't show up.
iMac, OS X 10.11
Since it works when in Safe Mode that means that something not loaded in Safe Mode is causing the problem.

They are Lacie 2Big Dock 16TB & 32GB daisy-chained into an OCW Thunderbolt 3 Dock. I have already checked cables and removed the dock as a possible cause of the problem. If the iMac is booted in 'Safe Mode' the drives show up fine. I can access the data on them as normal. Soon as the iMac is booted normally the drives disappear, again. This all started right after I upgraded to the new Mac OS 12.0.1.
What specific drives? Are they really Thunderbolt or are thay just USB-C drives?
Monterey has problems with GDrives and some other drives.
thunderbolt3 external drives not showing up in mac os 12.01
