I have a 1TB WD USB HDD attached to the USB-A port of my M1 Mini and it's ben twice alreade that upon waking it un after sleep I find a notification warning to eject the drive before disconnecting it while this never happened.
The HDD is powered through the USB cable and the Mini is under an UPS so not electricity problems I guess.

Is there a way to understand what's happening? Gave a look to the console app but could not find anything apparent to my untrained old eyes :)

Thanks for any help.
