A bit off-topic:
Really "Standby"??
Hibernation IMO is the better choice if it's not only a shorter period
of inactivity.

With Standby the machine is still and eats power.
Only with Hibernation the power consumption is reduced to zero.
And if something goes wrong with Standby the contents if the RAM is
lost. With Hibernation everything still is in the HDD.
