I just purchased a Lacie 5TB portable drive. I thought initially that it might just be the brand, as I have several removable drives connected to my iMac and I do not have this problem. I did reformat my drive to MacOS Journaled. This may be part of the issue. I will reformat to exfat and see if that helps with the issue.
