[dba-Tech] Comp wont hibernate

[Jim Lawrence]

Do not a lot of applications, like databases, wordprocessors, spreadsheets, syncing apps, browsers, backups and so on, are constantly saving data? I think we just have to accept that having the performanace of a SSD also has a possible negative side effect of a shortened drive life-span; until technology advances. 

Anyway, it is not that the old hard drives were any more stable.

In addition to John's remarks it is known that the SSD lifetime is somehow limited by the amount of data written. By hybernation you write lots of data (in a PC with 16 GB of ram a file of 16 GB size) to the SSD drive.

I think because it writes the memory to disk, whereas shutting down just closes open programs and turns off.  No rather large write to the disk. With rotating media it makes sense to hibernate since the disk isn't damaged and it is faster to reload the saved state than to boot.  With an SSD it is just as fast to boot (or close).
