Mac constantly ejecting Time Machine external HD and other drives
For like ever, in the mornings, when I wake up my MacBook Pro, I'd get messages that my external hardrives had been disconnected, but they were already connected back. Most of my HDs are powered by the Mac; the Time Machine one is a standalone Seagate HD that is plugged into an outlet. Sometimes this would happen during the day, like if I left the computer sitting for a while.
Annoying but could deal with it.
The last week, when I wake up my Mac, I have the message that the Time Machine disconnected, but it pops up 50-100 times. Worst part of this is that you can't right click and "Close all these windows" so I have to single click EACH WINDOW! I ended up disconnecting my Time Machine for now.
Things that have changed recently:
• Upgraded to Ventura 13.2.1
• I changed my sleep settings on the Mac but that was like 3-4 months ago.
My setup:
• MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max
• Ventura 13.2.1
• 2 Studio Displays
• I have to use a Razer Thunderbolt 4 Chroma Hub for the monitors and the Time Machine is hooked up to that
• Seagate 4TB External HD
Anyone seeing this? I found old posts about this.
Thanks
MacBook Pro (2021)
