This trashed drive can present as random long io blocking for weeks or months before the drive fails. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=960977&start=0&tstart=0 is an old thread about the issue. http://www.macworld.com/article/53471/2006/10/sleepmode.html is the fix I run my macs with -- one caveat is that if the computer runs completely out of battery it in effect does a hard boot. The other option is to wait (up to 2 minutes) for RAM to write to disk and the sleep light to slow blink before moving your lappy; I am just too impatient. -Wade
