sony tz hibernate with ssd

So I just installed a sandisk SSD into my TZ170N. It now only has 4gb of space left. In the hibernate tab of power settings it says I only need 2gb of space, but when I attempt to hibernate it takes about 3 minutes to do so! Any ideas? Everything else with the SSD is quicker!

 

might take a look at defragmenting your drive. i'm guessing it's taking a while because your hiberfil.sys is highly fragmented. a great little utility for doing this is defraggler, by the makers of ccleaner.

 

Just did a defrag and the laptop still takes 3-5 minutes to hibernate. Any more ideas? Anyone with an SSD experience this problem? I have 8+ GB of free space so I doubt its that. I did a restart also and no help.

 

I have a TZ195, and it took slightly more than a minute.

 

Dont you think that is absurd? Still, mine took about 2 minutes 30 seconds. Also I have no hiberfil.sys file in my C: directory. Not sure where it is going? That could be the problem. I just put in a SSD drive and copied image of my old 100gb drive, not sure what happened. May have to do a clean install of xp pro. Damnit!

 

This is really bugging me. Any one with suggestions? Here is what I have done so far: Disable hibernate, restart, reenable it. Defrag disk, used CClean, remove all junk. Still it takes almost 3 minutes to hibernate?!! I may give up and just use standby, but dont want my battery to trickle down...Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am contemplating a complete restore of XP Pro.

 

Hibernate is Fn+F12 no? If it's like that mine takes few seconds to hibernate, I have a TZ190 with SSD.

 

Getting it to hibernate is not the problem. You know when the Windows XP logo comes up with the blue bar beneath it? Well thats taking me the better part of 3 minutes to completely hibernate. If you could check, do you have the hiberfil.sys file in the C: directory? Is it viewable? I am showing hidden files and still dont see it, but when I try to make a file called hiberfil.sys it says that file already exists in the directory. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

 

I could be wrong, but a few seconds is hard to believe. Even my 3Ghz dual core desktop takes much longer than that.

If you are talking about the screen shutting off on the TZ, that happens immediately on Vista.

For the light on the on/off button to go out, however, I just timed it by watch this time at 56 seconds.

 

He's telling the truth. My tz190 takes no longer than 3 seconds.

 

It takes my tz190 no more than 3 seconds to go into and out of hibernation mode in Vista.

 

I wish my machines would hibernate that quickly. That is even faster than going to standby?? Funny, I timed my Dell XPS 420 desktop, and that took 2 and a half minutes to completely go to hibernate, actually much slower than my TZ. Of course it depends upon how many apps and stuff are open at the time, but still.

Bejand, regarding seeing the hiberfil.sys file, you may have to allow windows explorer to see all the hidden files, and extensions.

 

Yes I have that enabled and still dont see it at all...Weird...

 

Were all three boxes checked or unchecked? I'm not sure which one corresponds to it. There is checking the box to show hidden files and folders, and then unchecking the 2 boxes that keep the extension and operating system files hidden.

If so, that is weird!

 

NO WAY, your SSD's write speed can not reach that speed. Update almost 2GB of data within 3 second. If you know a little bit computer, you will see.

Your laptop probably go in and out sleep mode.
