Q: are the apple airbook ports powered while asleep
My new macbook air lost 46% of its power overnight while asleep. I had a usb hard drive conected to it but assumed it would sleep also. However, perhaps I was wrong. Does the usb port stay powered while the computer is in sleep mode?
Thank you,
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

The ports are powered while the computer is in sleep mode. I rarely have an external drive connected but just checked and it does stop spinning within a minute or so after the computer is put into sleep mode.
