My RAID1 drive (2x4TB USB drives) on my Mac Mini server has/have a tendency to go to sleep and won't waken when I log in with my iMac on ethernet or my MacBook Air on Wi-Fi. I have to go and physically touch the keyboard on the server in another room to wake them. Is there any setting on the server I might have missed that is causing this?
iMac 27″, macOS 12.6
1) Check “Prevent computer from automatically sleeping” in the Energy Saver preference.
2) Check “Wake for network activity” in the Energy Saver preference.

Thanks, I had done this but noticed I had "put hard drives to sleep whenever possible" checked. Seems it included USB drives. I have access back now that I have unchecked this item.
You’re welcome.
Yes it does, and I’m glad to hear that you found the issue.
