@Pedroskini I don't read the manual either. Also, some machines will have a free fall sensor to protect the hard drive so you can move it around safely like an ssd drive. Others do not, and moving them around can damage them.

Strange as this may seem, on my dual 1.25 MDD under Tiger 10.4.11 I enabled safe sleep and it works also! So, this also works for the upper G4's and G5's as well.

Ray: I totally agree with you. I lost my hard drive on my 17" MacBook Pro because of this feature. I will say that the manual does mention the dangers of opening or moving the laptop while it is going into "safe sleep". But in all honesty, I did not feel the need to read the manual for using a laptop when I purchased mine. Who does ? After they repaired it, I went back and read about it, and checked the manual. Fortunately, the warranty covered the repair.

this is a retarded feature that no one warns you about when you buy the machine. normal people close the machine and immediately move it off their laps or put it away. my 2 gb ram macbook takes over 30 seconds to sleep. moving it while the nifty safe sleep kicks in can destroy the hard. id rather chance losing the sessions ram than all the data on my hard drive. has happened to me and to a lot of other people. thanks for the warning apple.

'd recommend disabling this feature in terminal. i and a lot of other people have lost their hard drive because we didn't know that it was writing to the hard drive after we shut it. the motion sensor does not function while it is writing safe sleep. be warned. apple probably buried the warning, i never saw it.

I have a question for you. Say someone uses this Safe Sleep feature in their (Intel) Mac and they recently installed Windows XP or Vista. Both of those OS'es also have similar "safe sleep" features. Could a user then do something like boot into Windows and OS X, hold the alt key upon rebooting and switch between OS'es keeping the opened data intact? If I could do this, it would help sway a future purchase decision.
