Should I turn off hibernate with SSD?

Disable Hibernation: This will remove the hibernation file from your SSD, so you’ll save a little space. Yes, an SSD can boot up fast, but hibernation allows you to save all your open programs and documents without using any power. In fact, if anything, SSDs make hibernation better.

Is it OK to hibernate laptop all the time?

When To Shut Down: Most computers will resume from hibernate faster than from a full shut down state, so you’re probably better off hibernating your laptop instead of shutting it down. But most of the time, hibernate should be just fine.

Why is hibernation bad?

The disadvantage is that it will continue to consume power because of RAM’s volatile nature. On the other hand, hibernating computers need more time to resume because they have to fetch the data from the hard drives (instead of RAM) and then write these values into RAM, making the whole process more time-consuming.

Is putting laptop to sleep bad?

Not always. If you’re halfway through doing your office work or any other important document that you haven’t saved, put it in sleep mode. But keeping a laptop in sleep mode for a long period, say 1 week, can be bad for the laptop and it damages the battery life. Instead, put your laptop in hibernation mode.

What is the difference between sleep and hibernate on a laptop?

Sleep mode is an energy-saving state that allows activity to resume when fully powered. Hibernate mode essentially does the same thing, but saves the information to your hard disk, which allows your computer to be turned off completely and use no energy.
