To resume activity when your system is in a power-saving mode, press a key or move the mouse. If your system was in Doze mode, the monitor immediately displays and you can access your system right away.

If your system was in Suspend mode, it takes a few moments for the monitor to display and for the hard disk drive to return to active mode. You'll hear it start again. It takes a few seconds for the drive to reach its full operating speed and read or write to the disk

Note

Some hard disk drives do not support low-power modes. Also, the delay caused by the hard disk drive returning to active mode may cause errors in some applications. If you have problems, you may want to disable the standby timer for the hard disk drive.
