I've been asked a lot of times for optimization tips for SSD so here's one
that is very very useful um if you have an SSD you probably know that they're
not very big uh the average size of an SSD these days is around 120 gigs so I
ran into a situation where I was using space sniffer to figure out the
differences between the os's I had installed on a couple of my ssds and I
realized that my hybrid file hyber file.
CIS you don't have to get too close cuz I'll read it out is 12 gigs of space on
a 120 gig Drive I never ever hibernate
my uh test bench PC that's something I only really use on a notebook so why am
I wasting the space that I could be using to install more copies of
Battlefield 3 that doesn't run off my external steam drive and insists on
installing in program files because origin is awesome um so yeah that's what
I could be doing with that space instead so I'm going to show you guys how to
disable it uh completely because it's not as simple as just setting it to
hibernate after settings never you also
have to turn off allow hybrid sleep and
then once you're done that so you access this through control panel all control
panel items power options edit plan settings so you have to go to the Chang
Advanced power settings the next thing you have to do is open up an elevated
command prompt so the way to do that is you search for CMD in the start menu you
right click and you run as
administrator then in your elevated command prompt you type
power CFG DH so that's for hibernate space off
press that and delete the oh that
deleted it okay the instructions that I had seen have sometimes mentioned uh
deleting that file but it looks like you actually don't have to now all of a
sudden I have 12 gigs more space on my
boot Drive yay now I can install more stuff on my computer that I do not
hibernate so there there's my tech tip for the day unless I upload two videos
