[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1905795, member: 396914"] Sorry. MBP = MacBook Pro, MBA = MacBook Air SMC = System Management Controller. Here is what it does: [URL="https://www.howtogeek.com/312086/how-and-when-to-reset-the-smc-on-your-mac/"]How (and When) to Reset the SMC on Your Mac[/URL] For an M1 iMac, just power it down. I would then unplug it for a few minutes, then plug it in again and power it on. Theoretically the SMC is reset on an M1 iMac every time it is powered down, so the unplug/plug may be not needed, but I would do it anyway, myself. If the drive is working fine, you don't need to do anything. Sorry for the confusion, I thought you were still having issues with the drives. [/QUOTE]
