What would really be nice is being allowed to say: Suspend to RAM if battery left > n% else, suspend to RAM and disk. That way, you get the best of both worlds

- cashman 18y agoYes, indeed, SmartSleep works great. It gives you a pref pane interface for toggling between sleep, hibernate and 'smart sleep' -- which hibernates if the battery is low, but sleeps otherwise. I've been using it for the past ~6 months. Without it, my MacBook would take nearly two minutes of disk activity before sleeping; now, it's sleeping happily within 5 seconds.
- yan 18y agoI believe that's already the default behavior of OS X. It will put the computer to sleep (ACPI S3), and start dumping contents to hard disk. If the battery dies or is removed between waking, it will read it in from disk. I'm not 100% positive on this, but I do recall reading a similar description.
