External hard drive never rests
I have two external solid state hard drives attached to my new M3 iMac, one for Time Machine, and the other to house music ripped from purchased CDs. The Time Machine Drive goes on and off on a regular basis, as expected, but the music drive is always lit, even when the Apple Music app is not in use. I moved these drives from my previous iMac, and the new machine allowed me to continue Time Machine backups from the point where they left off on the previous iMac, but the behavior of the drive housing the music files is unfamiliar to me. Is there a Sonoma 14.1.1 setting I can use to tell the computer to allow the disk to rest when it's not in use?
