Hi all! Thanks to this thread, I've been running a 2TB Sabrent Rocket w short Sintech adapter in my 11,3 15" Macbook Pro Late 2013 since 2019. It's been full for a while so might update it to 4GB as given the good results folks are having.
Earlier this year I upgraded to Sonoma using OCLP, it's been working fine.
But two issues, the first is far more important to me.
1) Hibernate and Sleep have never really worked
2) and since Kexts are no longer supported, I don't know if there's a replacement for SsdPmEnabler.kext or NVMeFix, or if either are needed, but lower power draw always sounds good esp on battery.
Sleep will work if I'm plugged in, but on battery after a while (like hours or days), it always eventually does a full shutdown. Battery is high so it hasn't drained significantly, but restarting is always a cold boot. I'd like to have sleep without killing my battery for some period of time (maybe a day or two if reasonable battery usage, ie. still 75%+ if I was at 100%), and then a hibernate so I won't kill the battery if I leave it for weeks, but I'd like to resume from hibernate so I don't always have to do a cold boot (which is slow, particularly as my disk is FileVault protected).
Here are my pmset settings, which I've tweaked a couple times per guidance in this thread, but very possible I messed something up along the way.

BTW thanks for the tips a few months ago on finding the cause of my occasional nvme driver panics, cleaning the drive and adapter connectors and reseating everything fixed it all, haven't had one since then. I installed some new rubber feet while I had everything open
