[QUOTE="Azureal, post: 687317, member: 54437"] Thanks Noels, I typically leave the machine on all of the time and just close the lid to put it to sleep. I have a couple of external drives I use for storage and the backup app. I am really surprised that power is not shut off to either USB port. I think you may be on to something by suggesting umounting the drive, this is not the most convienient method, but it does work. It is interesting that skaheadpunk's MB powers down its ports in sleep mode, maybe I am missing some OS X setting. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. Azureal [/QUOTE]
