Choose Noject if...
A stationary Mac with storage that should never be ejected, where you want a hard guard against accidental ejects rather than automatic ejection at sleep.
Jettison automatically ejects external disks before your Mac sleeps or the display powers off, then remounts the ones still connected on wake, which is handy for laptops you move around. Noject is for stationary Macs where selected storage should stay mounted.

FAQ
They target opposite use cases. Jettison ejects drives before sleep so laptops can travel safely; Noject keeps chosen drives mounted and blocks accidental ejects on a stationary Mac. Choose based on whether you want the drive ejected at sleep or kept mounted.
Noject. If the machine stays put and the storage should always be available, the value is in preventing accidental ejects, not in ejecting before sleep.
Use Eject Once (bypass) for a single unmount, or turn off protection for that volume. Protection resumes automatically afterward.
