[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1741238, member: 46727"] When I first installed Sierra, I had a problem with sleeping my iMac in that the hard drive would not spin down as it had done before but the display would sleep. It annoyed me but the iMac ran cool regardless. However, after doing about 5 SMC resets the silly thing began to work again as it should. The HDD spins down now as it did before. Why it decided to work after so many SMC resets, I don't know. I believe that Sierra may have had something to do with it but can't prove it. As to your wife's machine, keep trying the SMC resets to see if it finally takes. I'm assuming that her SSD is the original one and not a replacement? [/QUOTE]
