3 - 6 Power-Saving States

Hibernate

Hibernate uses the least amount of power of all the power-saving states and saves
all of your information on a part of the hard disk before it turns the system off. If a
power failure occurs the system can restore your work from the hard disk; if a power
failure occurs when work is saved only to memory, then the work will be lost. Hi-
bernate
will also return you to where you last left off within seconds.

Shut down

You should Shut down the computer if you plan to install new hardware, plan to be
away from the computer for several days, or you do not need it to wake up and run
a scheduled task. Returning to full operation from Shut down takes longer than from
Sleep or Hibernate.
