How to Optimize your SSD Boot Drive

Disable Hibernation

If your system isn’t a laptop or netbook then you probably won’t ever need

hibernation. While hibernation is turned on your system keeps a file on the

root of your drive where it saves information about what you’re currently

doing on your computer. Disabling hibernation is easily accomplished with a

simple command line and will save you several GB’s of space. On our F40

we found that disabling Hibernation saved us roughly 8GB of space (20%)!

Here are the steps we followed:

1. Click on the “Start” button (Window’s logo icon in the lower left

hand corner of your desktop) and type “command” into the

search field.

2. Right click on “Command Prompt” at the top of your search

results and choose “Run as Administrator”.

3. In the DOS window enter the following command: powercfg –h

off

4. Close the command window.
