The trouble begins to emerge with someone like me, servicing two or three other machines on a network for family members, my own notebook, server and two workstations. I pick good power-supplies -- Seasonics. I discovered that leaving a system in sleep for days at a time puts a strain on the PSU. It's only a relief to me that the system that died in that unfortunate situation was about 8 years old at the time, but the PSU was only three years old. Oh-- I could always attend to waking them up and shutting them down, but the hibernation feature is important. I might set the system to sleep after two hours and hibernate an hour or two thereafter.InquiringMind wrote:If your system is a desktop, why bother with hibernation at all? Suspend to RAM will be faster and, assuming your power supply is reasonably reliable, has minimal extra risk.
At least the family systems are single-boot OS installations. I won't use PrimoCache or anything else on those systems because the users neither care for any advantage, nor would they administer those systems properly for it. And I have enough to do already!
