If you always turn off your computer or never do it, you can turn off Hibernate mode to gain some hard disk space. On Windows 7 (32-bit) our machine with a 300GB hard drive, disabling hibernation gets us just over 3 GB of more disk space. That may not sound like a lot of high-capacity drives today, but if you don't need Hibernation , why not reclaim that space?
