On my new MacBook Pro M1 there seems to be no system setting for energy saver. I want to disable the setting that puts my external disks to sleep when I close the top of the computer. Next morning I have hundreds of notifications I am deleting one by one "Disk Not Ejected Properly" for the 6 USB drives that were plugged into my Thunderbolt port with a USB-USB-C adapter and hub. The drives must have been going on and off all night?

See if under Battery >Options gets you any closer. Make some changes and compare your results.
