SSDs and Hibernation

Hibernation is very bad for SSD life expectancy so I'm a bit alarmed after cloning my laptop's 8.1 from HDD to SSD to find that hiberfil.sys is in use, 2.5GB of data uselessly being written to my new SSD every session. I've reviewed all the advanced power settings and nowhere is the hibernation option selected. I've also tried deleting hiberfil.sys with a boot disk (Windows won't let me delete it), but it's recreated at next boot. Fastboot is also turned off.

ATM I'm thinking I had better remove the SSD and reinstate the HDD until I can find an answer to this problem and in the meantime I'm not shutting it down.

Anyone?

 

It's OK, I found it -

In an elevated command prompt powercfg -h off

 

Its not that big of a deal anymore.

It was more of a concern with old SSDs.

 

Yeah, I know, but this is only a small drive, 120GB, and if I can stop it unnecessarily being hit by 2.5GB every session I think I'd rather do so.
