Drive Not Ejected Correctly.
After my iMacOS High Sierra goes to sleep, when I wake it up a notice tells me that one of my external drives has not been ejected correctly. How do I prevent this happening?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Yes, but here is my screen shot of Energy Saver. Am I missing something, a switch somewhere or similar?
Not all hardware support this newer feature:
Which Mac computers can use Power Nap?
You can use Power Nap on these Mac models:

That is very odd. Power Nap has been a feature since OS X 10.8.
Apparently you are not missing anything. I was checking the specs of a Mid-2011 iMac for someone else and found this on everymac.
*This system fully supports the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", OS X 10.9 "Mavericks", and OS X 10.11 "Yosemite" except for Power Nap functionality.
It also runs up to High Sierra as you know but without Power Nap among other features.
You may want to boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.

Many thanks. Strangely despite having latest updates I don't have the Enable Power Nap option, however copied other tick boxes as per screen shot and it seems to be OK now.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Thanks
You're welcome.
