sounds like you don't know what "hibernation" is in this context. when you hibernate a computer, it serializes all of its RAM and the state of all hardware to disk then powers off. Powers off. this is not "standby." on Windows it generally works flawlessly, and when spinning disks were still the ruling storage mechanism, hibernation was always faster than shutting down and booting again later. I will admit that I haven't tried using hibernate on any machine with an SSD as a main drive since bootup is so fast with an SSD.
