On June 15th, Gizcoupon reported that Apple Inc. announced today in a support document that the new Mac Pro may experience unexpected disconnection of the internal SATA hard drive when waking up from sleep mode. The company has acknowledged this issue and plans to address it in a future macOS update.
According to Apple, certain models of the internal SATA hard drive may become inadvertently disconnected from your Mac when it wakes up from sleep, whether it enters sleep mode automatically or manually. If you receive a prompt stating that your disk was not ejected correctly, you can restart the device to reconnect to the hard drive.
As a temporary workaround, users can stop the Mac Pro from entering sleep mode automatically by opening the system preference settings, selecting Displays, clicking on the Advanced tab, and enabling the option “Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off.”

As previously reported by Gizcoupon, Apple released the new Mac Pro on Tuesday. It features an Apple M2 Ultra chip and retains the same design as the 2019 models powered by Intel processors. However, due to the use of the unified architecture of Apple Silicon, it does not support graphics cards. Moreover, it is not upgradeable in terms of memory. Apple recommends purchasing the Mac Studio for customers who do not require PCIe expansion capabilities.
