Bug Description
I'm using Feisty on an iMac Core Duo. When I suspend the computer, I can still hear that the external USB hard-drive is still on. I guess it's the fan that I'm hearing. In Mac OS X I can't hear a thing when the computer is suspended.

Perhaps related. I'm using Gutsy on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Si-1520 laptop, and when I plug in a USB drive while the laptop is suspended (to RAM), the drive powers up.
I've never thought to check whether it stays on when the laptop is suspended; I assume it does.
I thought this odd - I'd expect there to be no power to the USB ports while the laptop is suspended. But I haven't tried it on any other laptop so maybe it's normal?
