External drive being ejected.

Question

External drive being ejected.

I have a Crucial SSD connected to a Mac mini 2024 M4 running Sequoia 15.3.2. I am continually getting a message Disk Not Ejected Properly when nothing has been done to the SSD at all. Cables are not touched at all and fit snug. Nothing has been moved yet the message comes up as if it has been disconnected. I did open Finder before this happened so I will watch and see if this happens again.

Any ideas?

Mac mini, macOS 15.3

What model is the Crucial SSD...?

How is the Crucial SSD connected to the Mac mini...?

(rear or front USB-C port) (into a hub)

Have you tried connecting the Crucial SSD to a different Mac mini port...?

It is a Crucial X8 4TB Model CT4000X8SSD9A. I actually did switch to a USB-C port on the front of the Mac mini and so far I have had no problem. I will keep posting if it should reoccur. Thanks for your help!
