External drive issue fixed
This is not a question, but a big thank you. At some point in the past few updates, Apple has addressed the issue of external disks continuing to try to access the system when it's in sleep mode. I just noticed this after failing to manually eject and turn them off, which I've had to do for years now. Thank you, Apple engineers.
