Fast Start-Up booting from different drives

Hello, I am thinking of installing Arch on one hard drive. On the other one, I have Windows 10 installed. I'm wondering what kind of "hibernation" does Fast Start-Up do. Does the recommendation of disabling Fast Start-Up on Windows still apply?

Thanks!

Yes.
Hibernating one OS and then booting into another can cause all sorts of issues.

If this was only a problem with single-drive systems then that would've been explicitly mentioned in the link you posted.

Hibernating one OS and then booting into another can cause all sorts of issues.

To be specific, data corruption/loss is basically guaranteed after a while.

Source: losing the majority of my code-base early on in my Masters when I was just starting to use Ubuntu. Cured me of the hibernate/sleep on dual-boot habit in a hurry.

It doesn't even save much time for SSD-backed systems.

Yes. Don't try that and be aware that windows tends to re-activate fast-boot with updates and ensure to deactivate it then.
