Mac Studio M1 asleep, Samsung T7 blue light shows at times

[chipandegg]

When I put the Mac Studio to sleep, the blue light on the Samsung T7 light up every now and then. Anybody else find this? Is the Mac actually asleep? As on my previous Mac the light would pulsate when asleep but now as you know it just stays on.

Yeah the led no longer indicates sleeping status, it's just always lit. Basically the apple silicon macs don't sleep the same way as the intel macs did -- they'll wake up frequently to do maintenance tasks and etc.

Yes every now and again blue light on, then goes red and then off.
Don't worry about it....

Studios use so little power also when sleeping.

Thanks for the info didn't know about it, so they don't sleep in the same way as before but I do miss that pulsing light!
