When I put my Mac to sleep for the night, all the external hard drives 
spin up for a few minutes around once an hour or so which is irritating 
me. The screen does not wake up. I was wondering if anyone had any 
suggestions for how to prevent this.

I'm running a 2020 Retina 5K iMac under macOS 12.6.7. In my Energy Saver 
System Preferences, both 'enable power nap' and 'wake for network 
access' are UNchecked. 'put hard disks to sleep when possible' is checked.
