External Drive Disconnects at Display Sleep
External G-drive worked find until upgrade to Monterey.
Now: MacOS issues warning: "Disconnect hard drive before powering off" despite not powering off or disconnecting the cable. External drive disappears from Finder.
Occurrence is somewhat random, but usually after display shuts off. I have inspected Energy Saver settings.
How can I assure continuous connection with this G-drive hard drive?
