Secondary HDD refusing to Mount, It also causes strange CPU Load

So I have just installed Bazzite on a new arrangement of hardware and it has been the best experience that I have had with Bazzite so far.

One issue I am having is that my secondary HDD which was selected during the initial Bazzite installation, and is formatted as BTRFS refuses to mount when I select it in the Dolphin File Manager and then enter the subsequent password in order to give it the necessary permissions to mount.

The little "Double Arrow" Icon to the right of the drives name spins repeatedly and at the same time the CPU Load on my system goes from being about 4% to being as high as 64%, and bare in mind that when doing this no other application other than "Cooler Control" is open, and I am using "Cooler Control" to monitor system load & CPU + GPU tells when attempting to access this HDD.

You can also audibly hear the CPU fan and system fans ramp up to meet the increased CPU heat output caused by the increased CPU Load.

Why is attempting to access this HDD causing the system to not do anything and the CPU to ramp up?
