They support Wake on LAN but I leave them powered ON 24/7.My Mac Mini M1 music server is powered ON 24/7 and never sleeps. It draws such little power so why not? In fact, its set up to automatically re-login and re-launch Roon music server software if there's a power glitch. I used to run the Mac Mini on a UPS but no longer need to as the newer Macs and macOS are so resilient to corruption from power glitches.
This is not the case with the Linux based Synology NAS which I also run 24/7 as a Roon music server. NAS volumes have been known to suffer corruption if there's an abrupt AC power outage so I keep my NAS on a UPS. The UPS is set up so it signals the NAS if UPS battery is running low. The signal from the UPS causes the NAS to initiate a 'graceful shutdown' before the UPS battery is depleted.... avoiding any chance of corruption from an abrupt power outage.
P.S. Depending on what I'm doing I'm running the Mac Mini -or- the Synology NAS as the Roon music server. The NAS isn't powerful enough to take full advantage of the various DSP, DSD, and sample rate conversion settings offered in Roon but the Mac Mini M1 is.
