mwheelerk Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Since early on in my computer audio experience I had followed some suggestions regarding maximizing performance on the Mac Mini by minimizing services. I've long forgotten the reasons. Recently I had been thinking about one of those actions related to Energy Mode on the Mac Mini. I have aver both Screen Saver and Sleep mode set to Never. My questions are should I be putting the Mac Mini to Sleep manually when I am done or is it okay to leave it active 24/7? My library external HDD seems to go to sleep on its own and easily comes back up when I open JRiver but I seem to remember issues with the HDD booting after the Mac Mini was in Sleep mode and awakening. Additionally I read in a JRiver forum post that the JRemote app had the ability to wake the Mac Mini but I can find no setting or selection to do so. Any issues I should be aware of or recommendations? What do you do? "If you fly a flag of hate you are no kin to me" Ry Cooder Link to comment
keeper Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I leave mine active 24/7 it's been like this since 2011 without any issues. i find the apple remote app doesn't wake it up if I use power save. Setup: Lumin D2> Roksan Blak> Focal 806 Link to comment
jhwalker Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I run mine 24x7, along with the attached Firewire drives (one for music, one for video, and one for TimeMachine backup). Every month or so I wind up rebooting it for some reason or another but, besides that, it runs continuously.

mwheelerk Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 I guess there is nothing to concern myself with. An idle mind just wondered. "If you fly a flag of hate you are no kin to me" Ry Cooder Link to comment
