Get Rid Off Hiberfile On SSD?
Jul 7, 2012I absolutely recommend to put the OS on the SSD. And leave all system files on the SSD. Just get rid of the hiberfile (the command is powercfg - h off) and reduce the pagefile to 2GBs. And if you got SP1 via the update cycle, delete the backup files. The command is DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /SpSuperseded. All this together saves you about 18GB of SSD space (assuming 8GB of RAM).
But, I like to hibernate my computer all day long. I only shut it down at night. Though this seemed to speed up logging into windows with the regular 7200 rpm HDD, I do not notice any benefit with the new SSD. Both resuming from hibernation and booting takes about the same time.
Should I get rid of hiberfile ? Then I guess I will have have to shut down the computer everytime ?
