short question is the fast boot option in windows good or bad for the health of a hdd?
the fast option makes it so windows doesnt really shut down but rather saves the open files into a hibnerate file and only loading this when turning the pc on again instead of having a cold boot up...
so my question is,if that fast boot is good for the lifespan of a hdd as it atleast seems like it reduces the usage of said hdd?
is there anything im missing?
whats better for a hdd? cold starting the pc everyday oder using fast boot and therefor hibernating and not cold starting everyday

if the fast boot even is hibernating im not sure,if not please tell me -what i said is pretty much only what google told me

It makes no difference to the drive; it still is powered off just like it is when using hibernation. You may want to read this before deciding to use it: https://www.howtogeek.com/243901/the-pros-and-cons-of-windows-10s-fast-startup-mode/ (understand the cons).
