Users with an SSD should therefore deactivate hibernation, and always turn the computer off completely at nights and other times it is out of use.
Unlike magnetic hard disks, an SSD drive does not need to be defragmented. This function of the operating system can simply be turned off, German specialist magazine Chip is reminding the tech community.
