Bring up the menu and type in "power" and see if you have a power management application in your desktop and see if that provides you with the flexibility you're seeking.

Try with command line to see if you have this hability :
As root "pm-suspend"
Or su -c 'pm-suspend'

You can't find the feature? Or is it not working?
If the former, what release of Debian? Desktop Environment??
If the latter, do you have a swap partition? Is it larger than the amount of installed ram?

My mistake : suspend is suspend to ram, not hibernate.
Without a swap partition or file you won't be able to hibernate : hibernate is suspend to disk.

Hi&welcome! How is your current disk partitioned? (3T is huge; maybe plenty!)
Post model of PC/laptop. Try some web-searches like:
debian|ubuntu|mint hibernate how to
This finds tons, like:
http://wiki.debian.org/Hibernation
Oh, and it links to:
https://wiki.debian.org/Hibernation/...Swap_Partition
And
more , from a search for: Hibernate without Swap Partition
Best wishes! (when you run into a problem, post essential details & what searches you tried)

It looks like you have a swap partition (on the right in picture). Add /dev/sda5
this way...
Try these commands (if you have a 'terminal'): free; swapon -s; uname -a
Does
this work?
I'm Newbie on this, so welcome other LQ'ers help/advice...

What is "my system disk" (your "system disk")?
Your "system disk" is the hdd where the debian is installed, isn't it?

Your "3TB disk" is different from your "system disk", isn't it?
First, boot the installed debian and open a terminal and execute
Code:
cat /etc/fstab
free -m
and post the results.
