I have an M1 Mac mini setup as my server for my media, Time Machine, and a few other things. The Sandisk external SSD I'm using randomly pops up "Disk not ejected properly" notifications and I have no idea how to fix it. It was turning the share into read only mode for Time Machine and stopping Time Machine backups until I turned File Sharing off and back on, but since I enabled "Allow Hard disks to sleep" that doesn't seem to be happening, but the eject messages persist.

Any idea how I can fix this other than setting the Mac mini to never go to system sleep? I'd rather not have to do that since I don't want to waste power.
