Information processing apparatus and start-up method of the apparatus

An information processing apparatus on which a non-volatile storage device is mountable, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a data processing unit configured to execute data processing by said information processing apparatus;
• a volatile storage unit configured to store at least data used for the data processing by said data processing unit;
• a power supply unit configured to supply power to said data processing unit and said volatile storage unit;
• a mount unit configured to mount said non-volatile storage device;
• an acquisition unit configured to acquire information of said non-volatile storage device mounted on said mount unit;
• an estimation unit configured to estimate a resume time from hibernation using said non-volatile storage device based on information of said non-volatile storage device acquired by said acquisition unit and performance of said non-volatile storage device;
• a first control unit configured to control to store the data stored in said volatile storage unit to said non-volatile storage device if the resume time obtained by said estimation unit is shorter than a predetermined time and to control not to store the data stored in said volatile storage unit to said non-volatile storage device if the resume time obtained by said estimation unit is longer than the predetermined time, when a power supply from said power supply unit to said data processing unit and said volatile storage unit is cut off;
• and
• a second control unit configured to control to read out the data from said non-volatile storage unit to said volatile storage unit if the data is stored in said non-volatile storage unit when the power supply from said power supply unit to said data processing unit and said volatile storage unit is resumed.
