MacBook Pro - Will Not Sleep Properly

I just bought the MBP about 7 days ago and I've already exchanged the original for a replacement one because of a sleep issue. However, my replacement one is doing the same thing.

When I close the lid (assuming to put the laptop to sleep/hibernate/rest whatever) the disk drive and hard drives go on and off constantly. Both of the laptops do this and it only happens when the laptop is plugged in.

Has anyone experienced this and if so what to do??

This sounds like it could be the problem. If it only happens when the system is plugged in it is likely that it is the power settings are set so that it does not to go sleep when it is plugged in. On my powerbook it would go to sleep regardless, but it could be different with the new MBP.

Well - I read the forums and some of the suggestions. It wasn't the settings at all, that was my first attempt. Some of the other threads suggested not to have any periphals neer, connected, or attempting to connect to computer. I thought I did this and the problem persisted.

WELL, I had a mini SD expansion card that was plugged in and I completely forgot about it. This was the problem. Now from my experience I had an expansion card that I left in my powerbook always and this never happened so I didn't think anything about it. Well, this was a mini SD expansion card that came from my Vaio. Needless to say I don't know if this problem will come back if I try this with a different expansion card or not but I suppose for the time being I'll have to use it and then remove it after every use.

MBPro is sleeping like it should now when lid closes. Only thing i'm noticing is the mouse sticking a bit here and there. A bit annoying and I've read a little about this happening on other machines but unsure if there is a fix or not.
