Jason Fitzpatrick is the Editor-in-Chief of How-To Geek. If I had never used the hibernation function, it would be 1.1% of its TBW rating. The TBW rating for the drive we're discussing here, the Western Digital Black SN750 1TB NVMe SSD, is 600TB.Īfter a year and a half of daily use, the drive is only 2.3% of its TBW rating. Sure, that might seem surprising initially, but within the context of the drive's TBW rating, it's not such a big deal. So you might react strongly to that and say, "Wait a second, you're telling me that half of your disk use is just hibernation? Clearly, hibernation is terrible for your SSD!"īut hang on.

The Total Host Writes for the drive is 13,969GB (or 13.97TB). If we multiply 565 by 13.5GB (the value for the memory utilization we established in the last section of the article) we get 7,627.5GB (or 7.63TB).

That makes the other options, sleep or hibernation, much more appealing than fully shutting down your PC. Also, it's really nice to pick up right where you left off with all your tabs open, your workflow in place, and such. Historically, many people avoided that option because mechanical hard drives (HDDs) have long boot times, and they didn't want to wait for the boot cycle and startup to finish the next time they needed to use their computer. The exact opposite is completely powering it down for the day by shutting it down.

Most people don't do that unless they use their PC as a media server, torrent box, or another task that necessitates leaving it on. When you're done using your computer, you have a few options.
