[QUOTE="danklim, post: 1756736, member: 384977"] Thanks Nick and MacInWin! Hmm ok, that makes sense. I was thinking that this was a problem with the mac software or hardware, but this is actually the expected behavior - right? I don’t have experience using any other mac with many devices that are plugged in constantly. But do you have any idea why it wouldn’t just consistently be disconnecting/ejecting these device when it goes to sleep? I mean, there are many times when it stays connected- so why doesn’t it eject every time? I have been in the habit of manually using the sleep function whenever i walk away from the computer for an extended period of time. I thought this would be best to save power and give the computer a break. Do you think its better to just turn the display off than putting it to sleep? [/QUOTE]
