Hibernate with an SSD is pretty damn good anyway. It's not always available for some reason though?

Most of the time comes disabled by default. You can easily change it but it's a shame that it doesn't come enabled by default

I have 64gb of ram, so I don't always have enough ssd space to hibernate.

None of my business but I'm having a hard time resisting the jab for buying 64gb Ram (not cheap) and not having enough left over for an adequate HD.

None of my business

And yet you couldn't resist a judgy comment.

You've never had a machine for several years while your needs evolved? Have you never had a change in your living circumstances? Never had to shift priorities because of things beyond your control? That's great for you, I guess.

The box is several years old. It was bought before the pandemic and before lots of other shit that has happened in my life that I won't bother to relate. Once upon a time there was adequate space, thanks for your concern. The machine in question has 2x1TiB SSD in addition to about 22TiB of spinning rust on SATA, as well as a 2Gb connection to 76TiB of NAS storage. Overall my storage utilization is at around 86%; I don't buy storage space to leave most of it empty. So suffice to say, if I could make time for it, there's plenty of other places to move stuff, there's just no need because I don't have a new SSD to put in its place and the machine is on 24x7 so hibernating is a non-issue.
