Jul 27, 2012 12:58 AM in response to dnicoby clintonfrombirmingham,★HelpfulIt's only available for Macs that have Apple-branded SSDs. I have a third-party SSD in my MacBook Pro (late 2011) and it doesn't work either.
Sorry,

Jul 27, 2012 2:44 AM in response to clintonfrombirminghamby dnico,do you think there will be an update to adress this or is it going to be a case of Apple getting us to upgrade our machines if we want these new features?

Jul 27, 2012 2:59 AM in response to dnicoby clintonfrombirmingham,No, it won't be updated. It's only going to work with Apple SSDs, period. There's a notation on the Mountain Lion features page that says "Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update." And that means Apple supplied built-in flash storage.

Feb 6, 2014 4:27 PM in response to dnicoby Carl Bach,I have a 2010 MBP 6,2 with an aftermarket SSD. My machine gets mail and notifications while asleep, but I do not have any powernap pref box in energy savings under 10.9.1
I do not have an Apple SSD. I have a Crucial M4-CT512M4SSD2
Apple did replace my MB last Fall under the video fault problem (for free after 3 years.....thanks Apple), but it stills identifies as a 6,2 Boot ROM MBP61.0057.B0F
I wish I could shut off this powernap feature, but have no access to it.
