M4 mac mini running macOS 26.0.1

I have an M4 mac mini attached to it is a Satechi stand & hub, which has a 1TB SSD in it. After upgrading to macOS 26.0.1 I have messages popping on the screen every so often telling me that the the Satechi SSD drive was not ejected properly. The only way I could eject the drive is if I would disconnect it from my mac mini. At the time of the message the icon for the drive disappear from the desktop and when I acknowledge the message the icon show up again. I had the same issue when I was running macos 15.X until I got the latest update that fixed the issue. When I upgraded to macos 26 I did not have this issue and wondering if any of you have similar setting and have the similar problem.

Thanks

Mac mini, macOS 26.0

I have the same issue with one of my TB drives attached to a hub. My other TB drives show no disconnects. The same drive that disconnects with the hub when connected directly to my Mac has no issue. I found that with a Mac the drive/enclosure design can cause various issues. I have no solution.

Thank you for your reply. I have a SanDisk 1TB drive directly connected to my Mac Mini and that does not have any issues, so I guess I just have to wait for the 26.1 upgrade to see if the problem fixed.
