The ReadyBoost cache is created on the root directory of the drive. If the system drive (the primary drive, with Windows system files on it) is a solid-state drive (SSD), ReadyBoost is disabled, since reading from that drive would be at least as fast as reading from the ReadyBoost drive. [7]
ReadyBoost (when enabled) uses external memory like a USB flash drive to extend the system cache beyond the amount of RAM installed in the computer. ReadyBoost also has a component called ReadyBoot that replaces the Prefetcher for the boot process if the system has 700 MB or more of RAM. [4]
Every time I've enabled ReadyBoost on different computers, running Windows 7 or later, using either a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 storage device for ReadyBoost, the performance of Windows is noticeably slower! Yes the USB 3.0 device was connected to a USB 3.0 port. Remove ReadyBoost and the performance magically improves.
The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) service is not available as a server role in IIS 7.0, it is a server feature managed through IIS 6.0. NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) is no longer part of Internet Information Services 7.0. ReadyBoost, which is available in Windows Vista, is not supported in Windows Server 2008.
When such a device is plugged in, the Windows Autoplay dialog offers an additional option to use it to speed up the system; an additional "ReadyBoost" tab is added to the drive's properties dialog where the amount of space to be used can be configured. Windows ReadyBoost is also available for Windows 7 and Windows 10.
It is designed to leverage features introduced in Windows Vista, namely ReadyBoost (a supplementation of RAM-based disk caching by dedicated files on flash drives, except on the 512 MB version) and/or ReadyDrive (a non-volatile caching solution, i.e. an implementation of a hybrid drive, as long as the main storage isn't already one); [5] as ...
ReadyBoost, makes PCs running Windows Vista more responsive by using flash memory on a USB drive (USB 2.0 only), SD card, Compact Flash, or other form of flash memory, in order to boost system performance.
CompactFlash IDE (ATA) emulation speed is usually specified in "x" ratings, e.g. 8x, 20x, 133x. This is the same system used for CD-ROMs and indicates the maximum transfer rate in the form of a multiplier based on the original audio CD data transfer rate, which is 150 kB/s.
