Summary:According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a volatile memory, a nonvolatile semiconductor disk drive, a hibernation control module, a resume control module, and a release module. The drive includes SLC and MLC areas. The hibernation control module saves system context data in a first storage area in the SLC area in response to a hibernate request. The system context data includes contents of the volatile memory. The resume control module reads the system context data from the first storage area to restore the contents of the volatile memory, in response to a resume request. The release module releases the first storage area so as to allow the first storage area to be used to store other data, in response to completion of the read of the system context data.
