• Having previously worked now Readyboost does not activate flash on Win7 ultimate x 64

  Hi people,

  I use a SanDisk cruzer micro 8GB flash drive for awhile with win7 now and I alternate between use as readyboost and storage.

  But recently the readyboost option stopped on the AutoPlay list. Then, after a restart it came back, but every time I select the flash drive > properties, there is no readyboost tab to be seen.

  The only changes to the system are that I added a USB printer and scanner USB. What the hell is happening?

  I tried to format, reinstall SanDisk U3 launcher, I tried diskpart own all etc, etc. But nothing seems to give me the option
  to enable readyboost.

  Anyone got any ideas? The really strange thing is that readyboost was working fine last time I used the flash drive with Win7.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hi Khaled,

  Nope, none of that helped.

  But I think that the reason for the problem of readyboost is that Win7 didn't like the fact that I had hacked an install of my Nikon Coolscan 5ED the USB and Canon LIDE35 USB devices to work under Win7 using old drivers 64-bit XP and Vista.

  I have now re-installed Win7 and I can confirm the two my SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8 GB and 16 GB USB key work correctly with readyboost again.

  On the plus side, I realized that I wasn't not take full advantage of my computer RAID storage. I have a controller matrix RAID Intel 10CHR and after having read up on the site intel I have now installed Win7 with a RAID0 to 3.4 volume and super fast and a volume RAID5 1 TB on a range of 5xHDD 5xHDD.

  anyway thanks for the help guys.

• Equium P200 - getting slower

  I bought my laptop Equium P200 on 18 months ago and updated upgraded the memory from 1 GB to 2 GB.

  Since just after Christmas, the performance of the machine has been terrible. It takes an age to start, is almost as if she gets to sleep when I try to open the mail or the internet. Is sometimes said that he has a problem with ReadyBoost and stop that, he is also prone to kill the wireless service. I am running Vista.

  The question is what can I do to make the performance that it was when I received the kit?

  When I look in the Task Manager (sometimes it is the only way to make the portable thte wake up) it says its using a little more than a GB of memory and the processor is not be overworked. The fan is running not bad, the drive light is on almost constantly. I have treid defraging the disk, he starts anything other than the operating system at startup.

  Help!

  Hello

  It s not easy to say which is the reason why, for this, but in most cases it s associated with the software.

  Have you tried to uninstall Toshiba Tempro? This causes also a long system start time and I took off because I don t need.
  In addition, you should look into msconfig and disable all programs starting that you don't need. This can improve performance.
  I also disable some services that I n t need in services.msc (start > run > services.msc).
  CCleaner is a good program to clean your system. You Google to find and it s freeware. CCleaner deletes all unnecessary registry entries and old files on the HARD disk, they are not necessary.
  And you should look for a bit in the forum. There you can find many threads how to improve performance on Vista systems.

  You use the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
  In the worst cases, you must take the Toshiba Recovery disk to reinstall Windows.

• Problems with the flash drive and ReadyBoost

  unless you have very little RAM on your computer, ReadyBoost is
  useless and will do nothing to improve your performance. Use of the

• USB stick not capable for readyboost

  I have hp v210w reader pen 16 gb. I used this device to readyboost option provided by microsoft windows 7. but now it is said that this device cannot be used for readyboost, the device does not have the performance characteristics required for use in speeding up your system.

  I want to use this device to readyboost. So please help me solve this problem?

  Hello

  ReadyBoost need to access the device all the time and anything can die. He cannot live forever after a number of read/write. Performance reduces and don't meet ReadyBoost requirments. They are very cheap now, throw it in the trash or use for anything else and buy a new one.

• Hello, what is the maximum settings "readyboost" I can use it will benefit my system?

  Hello gang,

  
  
  The PC gods were not nice to me (admittedly, I explored things better left to someone who knows what they're doing!)
  4 3 systems are in the shop! It's the curiosity for you!
  in any case, I'm trying to run my business together via an obsolete zv6000 HP/XP which now, I am so grateful to have never let go for some ridiculous cheap because of its antiquity. I have to admit that for a former average daily price laptop, that it hold its own & has not crushed or skips a beat so far. Its a revelation to my new quad-core 64-bit W7, of 2 TB hardrv. on a system with a fraction of what is now considered ways.
  in any case, it will be a week or more before finishing to fix my new PC & I'm trying to squeeze as much speed & quality photos out of my HP older than possible in the meantime. We've all heard of ready boost and how it works. My question is: Why am I limited to roughly define max loan-boost 4G on my 16 G scan momar. Blade? I have a Pocket media external 160Gig who came to my old HP and I have a the same problem, my current XP laptop will not allow a higher setting of ready-boost. I'm sure there's a technical explanation for this and I would like to know what it is, also can not I not also devote a small partition of my main drive for the memory of virtual reality or designating a flash drive only for ready-boost prevents me from cumulation? Y at - it other tips sly to speed up this old laptop XP? I have 2 Hardrives internal of 1 to everyone who was initially appointed to go in my last version, but they are not formatted when even (they are still in the box) if I get an IDE/SATA connector can I piggy save one of them to serve as storage for a higher speed? Or my old O.S and M/Board will remain my permanent bottleneck is not worth sinking money in when I have all these projects around the installation & some shortages of technical brainpower!
  Thanks a lot for direction my efforts in the right direction, away from the rocks!

  ReadyBoost works on Windows Vista, 7 and 8. You can't use it on
  Windows XP.

  Furthermore, in my experience, ReadyBoost only have advantage if you use
  on a system with very little (less than 2 GB) of RAM. On most computers it
  Nothing or almost nothing.

• ReadyCache with ReadyBoost?

  Hello world

  I read on this forum that ReadyCache can be formatted and used as an ordinary SSD,

  and I realized that, in this case, ExpressCache is not functional.

  Has anyone tried to use Windows ReadyBoost? Why not...

  I intend to buy this ReadyCache, but I'm afraid of all the problems that I have read here with ExpressCache!

  Phil

  Since a few days, I work with ReadyCache/ExpressCache.

  drlucky & coolreporter, you're right: I note all the improvements mentioned in this forum.  Installation was no problem and the State of the cache shows 20-25 G.

  This is the best solution,
  Here, I thank you for your good advice.

  I tried readyboost on my vista 64-bit with a 4 GB usb key and it was great to work for a while, but one day, then my computer won't start, he said in my startup folder, files were missing or there was an error when you try to read them.

• ReadyBoost - tab is missing in the properties, and it does not work!

  Title says it all. When I insert a disc and the Autorun dialog opens, if I click "Speed up my system" it just opens the property page for the device with the free space, etc. The ReadyBoost tab isn't there.

  I especially don't think that I NEED, I'm 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM. But this isn't the point, please do not answer with "you don't need, so don't bother. All I see is that is not a feature that is supposed to be there, if I need it or not, it could indicate a bigger problem with my PC.

  Where the ReadyBoost tab? I know in Win7, the service is incorporated with Superfetch, and I checked this service is launched and automatic. I tried to format the USB key as each file system and also tried the switching device to "Optimize for performance" etc. Nothing. I ran "sfc/scannow", and he found no problem.

  Any help guys?

  Hello

  ReadyBoost in Windows 7 is much better integrated and provides even better than Vista speed.

  ReadyBoost still help your performance if you run a lot of memory intense programs, run a
  many programs in the same time, or use some that access large files. In Windows 7 there is none
  upper limit of the amount of memory to use for ReadyBoost. In Vista, it was limited to 4 GB.

• Problem of memory in 32-bit Widows7

  How do widows7 ultimate 32 bit, recognizing more than 2 GB of memory.

  What do you tell us if you have (or think you have) more than 2 GB of memory installed and if you do why do you think that Windows does not recognize it.

  If this has always been a problem, or if something has changed lately that brought about this problem, what do you think that could be?  Changes to the software, hardware changes, etc.

  You have sufficient hardware to support ReadyBoost and you can not - and your system can benefit from ReadyBoost and he can't.

  You might entertain this idea well and you can read about it here:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/turn-ReadyBoost-on-off-storage-device#1TC=Windows-7

  Why don't you do this so we can see what you have (and maybe not unnecessarily waste message cycles):

• ReadyBoost Windows 7 Pro 64 bit works only not with the reader flash 32 GB USB high speed...

  Hello

  I did what I could find in support.microsoft.com search/read them all using ReadyBoost on my Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit, because he seemed much more cost-effective to install a properly sized USB key from the bombings of hundreds of dollars to replace and modernize the planks of installed RAM, I, 4x2Gb @ 1066

  My basic material is:

  Intel i7 920 CPU using Gigabyte EX58 - UD3R-MOBO with 8 GB of RAM installed 1066.

  According to the info I've read ReadyBoost, the ratio is 4:1 for the size of the Flash drive compared to installed RAM or, in my case, a 32 GB USB device.

  I had the OCZ Rally2 32 GB because it tested faster about 30 GB Read and 5 to 10 MB write.

  When I go to activate the USB 32 GB for ReadyBoost flash drive, I get the "impossible... to use this device to ReadyBoost...". "error message.

  TWO QUESTIONS:

  1 knowing that my USB 32 GB current is at a speed of 31 GB read/6-10 MB write and can be replaced if necessary:

  a. y at - it a necessary range of recommended read/write speed?

  2. further, saying: the range of tested USB disk read/write speed are correct or I will get a correct drive 32 GB and with 8 GB of RAM currently installed.

  b is it? or what is the advantage in any computer processing speed using a 32 Gb USB flash drive when it is 8 GB of RAM installed (knowing that a replacement/upgrade RAM is off-budget for the foreseeable future)?

  Finally, I pass first OCZ support but received no conclusive answers.

  1st answer to yesterday 20:11

  Win7 is limited to 32 GB size by device for ReadyBoost. I've seen this problem before when the USB key is at the maximum limit. Never seen a work around so.

  AND, more interesting for me, 2nd answer:
  Today 02:37

  Few people I know with this problem that I've never heard of a solution. I don't know anyone who devoted a lot of effort as with 8 GB of memory system is not a necessity for ReadyBoost so they just moved.

  NOTE: The support guess I are underutilizing the 8 GB of RAM installed. In fact, due to the needs work I will typically have anywhere for applications and utilities operating at 20-35 someone time, using 4-6 GB of RAM at peak use.
  Ideas?  Suggestions?
  Thank you.

  Hi John,.

  A flash drive may appear to meet the requirements, but Windows may detects it not as compatible ReadyBoost if its rated speed measures sequential and random performance and performance is not always quick on the set of the flash player.

  Look for a note from the manufacturer that the flash player is Compatible Windows ReadyBoost. Not all manufacturers of this list on their packaging.

  You can check with another flash drive

  Answering your questions

  a. speed for Windows ReadyBoost requirements are at least 2.5 MB per second throughput for random readings of 4 kilobytes (KB) and 1.75 MB per second throughput for 512 k random entries.

  Using memory in your storage device to speed up your computer

  (Article is for Windows 7)

  b. ReadyBoost acts as a cache of HARD disc (hard drive) and is not a replacement for direct system memory. It will not improve processing speed, but will help the launch of faster applications and push background applications that serve much in memory reserved ReadyBoost.

• ReadyBoost works with Windows 7 Starter Edition?

  ReadyBoost will work with Windows 7 Starter Edition?
  I am intrigued by the Archos 9 tablet PC runs Windows 7 Starter Edition, but received some lukewarm reviews, with its performance most often described as weak.
  I thought that Readyboost can help him, but I'm not sure if it is supported in Windows 7 Starter Edition.
  Does anyone know for sure?

  Hi Ebenton,

  Windows ReadyBoost can use storage space on some devices of removable media, such as USB flash drives, speed up your computer. When you insert a device with this capability, the AutoPlay dialog box will offer you the option to speed up your system using Windows ReadyBoost. If you select this option, you can then choose how much memory to use for this purpose.

  This feature comes with all editions of Windows 7.
