Suspend to RAM
In a suspend to RAM, the contents of your computer's memory are held intact, while
almost all the components in your computer either turn off completely, or reduce power consumption to
a minimum. In a suspend to RAM, your computer remains active, but with a minimum possible power
consumption. Return the computer to full power by pressing any key. A fully-charged battery can
maintain a Suspend to RAM for many hours.
Suspend to Disk (Hibernate)
Suspend to Disk is similar to turning off the computer, except that the
current state of the computer is copied to the
hard disk
as a special file. In a Suspend to Disk there is no
power consumption. When the computer returns from
suspend mode
, the desktop appears with the same
files and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Suspend to Disk is very useful when you
don’t want to take the time to shut down all open programs one by one to shut off the computer. This
mode is also called hibernation mode.
