Hi,
This is my first time posting on Tom's Hardware. I have a new Corsair Force 3 120GB solid state drive with Windows 7 Ultimate installed. Every time I would put it to sleep, it would turn off and give me the "Windows did not shut down successfully" message. I talked to the people at Fry's (who have helped me out throughout building the computer), and they told me never to put the SSD to sleep. Sleep is a feature that I would really like to keep available, so I looked up the problem here (where I have also looked while building my computer, but never posted or created an account) and figured I'd try disabling hybrid sleep, now it sleeps like it should and comes back up without any problems. However, I just want to make sure that using regular sleep won't kill my SSD. This is my second SSD, as my first one (a Kingston) died, probably because of putting it to sleep, as I just learned, so I'm sure you can understand why I'm cautious.
Thanks,
Connor Montgomery
