How to use Energy Saver on my Mac?

#1

Hello All

So my WD Passport Mac External Hard Drive while copying or transferring files at times just suddenly disconnects and reconnects.

I am thinking in order to stop my hard drive disconnecting at times is there a way to keep it on all the time. Maybe by using the Energy Saver settings on my Mac.

Can you suggest to me if what I have currently set my energy saver on my mac is alright or shall I change it?

How old is your external drive? Is it an SSD?
I’d be more concerned with finding the reason behind it disconnecting. Because it shouldn’t.

Are you saying the hard drive disconnects when energy saver switches on?
