@jtbandes Thanks for trying, I'm going to bed now

hah

@jt

If it does prevent standby: we might have to find some sort of (terminal) to make the computer ignore the sd card (if possible) and even then might also have to use the method above

If it doesn't prevent standby: We probably need an app to watch for sleep and wake and then mount unmount accordingly

Gah this is a bit frustrating, no matter what the answer is to this, it's only the first half of the question...

Maybe the ssd is key here?

I don't know if this clarifies it: myservice.com/blog/2010/12/macbook-air-standby-mode

It used to be called Deep sleep but they changed it, dunno why

hmm, in the thread over at macrumors they're discussing hibernate mode and standby

So if anyone get's ahold of something, please post there :)

discussions.apple.com/thread/4148127

The people behind The Nifty Minidrive said that they're investigating as well. I've posted a question here and on discussions.apple.com

Very strange, thanks for trying though!

Yeah but I remember seeing something about microSD ones

And cheaper 64GB ones this autumn

and faster

Saw some rumours of bigger (not that big though) sd cards coming out this year

Not yet

Finishing my shift now, going home, I'll be back in 20 minutes

Yeah really cool, but not so good if it prevents standby.

The question arose from the kickstarter campaign for The Nifty Minidrive. A micro SD card adapter that fits perfectly into the sd slot of portable macs

Or at least, should be

Oh and btw approximately 8 615 ppl are anxious about this

Hmm is it possible pmset -a standbydelay needs a restart to take effect?

That's strange, when I tried to find indicators of the standby / deep sleep mode testimonials from users consistently said it took around 10 secs to wake from standby

lol

What's zzz.log?

haha, thanks a million!

So it's up to the kinda-three-steps-not-complicated-at-all-solution™

hmm I can't check but is there a way to set it to prompt for password when waking from standby mode but not regular sleep? That would be easier

So using three tests it should be discernible: 1) close the lid, wait for it to sleep, and wake it. 2) set the delay before standby mode to a few second, close lid, wait for standby mode, and wake it. If any speed difference is noticed proceed to test 3) Insert SD card, unmount it but let it stay inserted, close lid, wait for standby mode and wake it: Is it instant as in 1) or slower, as in 2) ?

Isn't almost instant in regular sleep?

They say that the computer should resume within a few seconds

But in Apple's support document - "About standby mode" support.apple.com/kb/HT4392

Hmm I can't find any command to check wether or not the computer has actually entered standby mode

Here are some commands to set time before the computer enters standby mode. For testing purposes this probably should be set to lower than the initial ~1 hour forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1307671

;)

If you could do that, that would be very helpful

Macbook pro mid 2012 + retina and macbook air mid 2010 and later

The macbook airs don't have it

whereas in the regular sleep mode it is

When it's in this state the indicator light isn't on

It's the deep sleep mode that allows the battery to last for up to 30 days

Hey! Does anyone know if an inserted but unmounted SD card prevents standby mode on ssd macs?
