Base m4 Mac mini. Seagate 8tb external hdd.
I get the error ‘hdd not ejected properly’. The seagate gets its power from the USB port, so thinking that the USB port doesn’t provide enough power I bought a Ugreen docking station with its own 145w power supply and plugged the Seagate into that. I still get the occasional same issue.
The only thing I can think of is to shuck the Seagate, and put it in a mains powered enclosure, as both devices seem to be too feeble to supply enough power.
Any other suggestions?
