What is Hibernate (OS feature)?
'''Hibernation''' is a [[technology]] used in certain [[operating system]]s. It allows to save the contents of the [[RAM|system memory]] onto a [[hard disk]] or other permanent storage. The computer can then be powered off. When it is powered up again, this information can be read again. That way the system will [[booting|start up]] much faster. The amount of free space on the hard disk needs to be greater than the amount of RAM in order for hibernation to work. {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Computing]]
