SSDs aren't magical white unicorns.  They're just another SATA storage
device, albeit a fast one, and when problems arise you troubleshoot, as
with anything else.

This email mentions nothing of any troubleshooting performed by you up
to this point.  It's sole purpose seems to be to blame me for what you
apparently believe is a bad recommendation.

Until you do basic troubleshooting we simply won't know what the problem
is.  It could be any number of things that are fixable, hardware or
software related, or you could have a bad SSD.  But I assure you the
problem isn't that hibernate to SSD is universally slow.
