There's a major difference between suspend to ram and suspend to disk

But no one knows which is called what.

Except for me.

And you.

But I'm a nerd.

You're one too.

A sexy one.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

So can you clarify which is what - hibernation vs. standby?

Sleep/Standby usually suspends to RAM. Hibarnate tends to go to disk.

It's different in every OS.

and this is why even in "sleep," your computer still needs power. RAM is volatile, so a little juice has to be flowing to it constantly or it will forget what it's been storing.

During S3 sleep the CPU, GPU, HDDs all enter a lower power state. The RAM stays fully active and working. The PC is still on and needs power. To wake the PC the CPU, GPU, HDDs are simply woken up from their low power state and you can continue from where you left off. No need to go through POST or the bootloader

During hibernation/suspend to disk all data in RAM is written to disk and the PC is shut down completely. You can unplug it, move it, upgrade components, etc. When you turn it back on it has to POST normally. You can boot into an alternative OS. If you boot into the original one, the data is read from disk, written to ram and then you can continue where you left off. Hibernation takes a lot longer since writing and later reading 4GB (or however much ram you have) to/from disk is much slower than just sending the CPU, etc. to a low power state

Sleep = PC on
Hibernate = PC off
