I have a new 2021 14 inch M1Pro Macbook Pro, and ive been having this issue where the drive will eject when the laptop goes to sleep. i have my backups and my music plugins for Logic Pro X, and im not ALWAYS on my macbook so i gotta close the lid sometimes. ive disabled as many sleeping or disk sleep things that i can think of and it still ejects. Everytime the disk gets ejected id have to reinitialize my plugins if a project was left open. closing a project does help but the disk still ejects and i have to make sure i close the project everytime. i JUST upgraded from a 2010 MBP and ive never had this issue. Any solutions yet still? I have a WD My Passport 2TB external drive, with a USB micro B Superspeed to USB type C cord. when its connected and on it works fine. only when the computer goes to sleep.
