Well, It seems the external ssd drive doesn’t work any more- it doesn’t mount on my desktop and if I plug it into my wife’s 2015 macbook pro it doesn’t mount there either. The disk utility doesn’t see it either. So I guess I need a new drive.

Bummer!

I have the new M3 MacBook Pro… And have a 4 TB SSD… I run Time Machine and Backblaze, and have never been cut off from the drive during sleep or screen saver. Is your external drive encrypted??

Harry,

Sounds like you have a MacOloompa messing with your Mac? What Mac do you have and what macOS are you running? Have you done FirstAid on the disk?

?Sleep loses connection with external drives. At least is some Macs in the past. I am not sure about all recent ones.

Hello all,

I have a recent Macbook Pro. I back up with time machine to an external ssd drive. I never shut the computer down and often, when I wake the computer up, I get a message that my external drive was improperly ejected even though I hadn’t removed the drive from the computer and the drive shows up on the desktop.

Anyone know what’s going on.

Happy holidays to all.

Harry
