Put hard disks to sleep when possible

Hi! I recently bought a new MacBook Pro M1. I tried to set the battery settings but there is not the choice for "Put hard disks to sleep when possible", differently from my previous MacBook Pro 2012 and from what I've seen online it should be there. Is it normal?

MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

Hi there,


This option does not exist on Macs with SSDs, as SSDs have no moving components.


Cheers,


Jack
