What is ReadyBoost?
To get a clear explanation of ReadyBoost I went to the Windows 7 help console (yeah, I’m not playing with you, I really did) and got the following:
ReadyBoost can speed up your computer by using storage space on most USB flash drives and flash memory cards. When you plug a ReadyBoost-compatible storage device into your computer, the AutoPlay dialog box offers you the option to speed up your computer using ReadyBoost. If you select this option, you can choose how much memory on the device to use for this purpose.
To add to this, ready boost stores frequently used data on a flash drive, which typically reads much more quickly than it would from your hard drive. We’ll stick with these explanations now and expound on them in the next section.
Does ReadyBoost Really Work?
In theory, yes. But not for every setup.
In this section, we’ll explore the technical details of ReadyBoost and look at some benchmark tests to help you determine whether ReadyBoost will help you.
