Speed Up Windows Performance Using Ready Boost

Posted by Sana Rajpot, April 08, 2012

Hi friends I posted a lot of articles on How To Increase PC Speed,I am here with one more article to boost up your PC.Windows Ready Boost allows Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 to use compatible USB flash drives as cache instead of the hard drive. This is faster because it has been shown that small random reads and writes on flash RAM can be 8-10 times faster than caching them to one of your hard drives. In order to really benefit from this new feature, Microsoft suggests that you provide enough space on a flash drive for Ready Boost so that you are in at least a 1:1 ratio with your installed physical RAM.

You will also need to use flash drives that meet the following specifications:

At least 1GB of storage capacity
The flash device must have at least 512MB free
5 MB/sec throughput for random 4k reads across the entire device
3 MB/sec throughput for random 512k writes across the entire device

If you are lucky, your existing flash drive may already be compatible.
