external discs keep ejecting themselves Hi, I've seen some of you had a problem with externals ejecting themselves already... I have a new macbook pro m2 and i'm using a verbatim adapter in order to plug in two externals. what happens is: plugging in the second external, unplugs improperly the first one, already plugged in. both work fine when used separately or one by one. both WD externals. different names, different storage Have changed the cables, energy save off.... any clue how to solve this?

No option to eject USB-stick. Have High Sierra on two separate disks. When I'm using one of them, insert a USB-stick and then want to properly eject the stick, I right click on it and get a popup menu with various options, e.g. "eject". I select that and the stick disappears from desktop and I can physically pull it out. I assume it's that the way the OS want to us to unplug USBs. But in this other disk with a newly installed High Sierra, no "eject" option appears when right clicking. Have searched for solutions but only found a couple. Like "reboot", "log out and in again", etc. None works. Is it nowadays OK to just pull a USB-stick without telling the OS to eject first? Or is my OS missing something? (Oh, it's the same when e.g. opening and then trying to eject a dmg)

There is no tray, that model features a slot loader.
