• Ready Boost

  Recently I plugged a USB 1 GB in a 32 bit Vista Premium system of House who has a memory of 1 GB installed.  Ready boost offered to use 870 MB of this stick, and when I tried to increse said it might slow down the system.  My question, which is a function of the size of stick or something else.  If I used a 2 GB or more big stick he uses more of it or still do not want to use the 870 MB?  Thank you

• Questions and Confusion with the game automatic and unable to implement the ReadyBoost for a storage device

  OK, I tried to set up the Readyboost on one of my flash drives and to do this, access the AutoPlay window. I followed several instructions and advice from several Web sites, I tried to click with the right button on the flash drive in the computer menu, but the AutoPlay option does not appear.

• 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!
  peace, Alan

  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.

• What is the difference between ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive?

  Hey there - sorry for the newbie question. I searched previous posts and I don't mean of these two options in the Turbo Memory Console. ReadyBoost is running just off the coast of the turbo chip 1 GB and ReadyDrive run out of a hard drive? Can I use them both at the same time (which seems to be an option in the console).

  I am running Vista 64 bit with 4 G memory and Turbo Memory Driver 1.8.0.1018.

  Microsoft Windows ReadyDrive * and Microsoft Windows ReadyBoost * are features of the Windows Vista operating system *.

  Windows ReadyDrive enables computers shipped with a hybrid hard drive to access data from the nonvolatile cache, allowing the drive to stay turned down for longer periods.

  Windows ReadyBoost allows nonvolatile flash, such as USB flash drives, memory devices to be used as a cache extra memory to improve performance of the system without adding more memory system.

• SanDisk Extreme 64 GB readyboost compatible?

  Hey all.

  I can't find the answer to this question anywhere on the net.

  SanDisk 64 GB Extreme is compatible with readyboost for windows 8.1?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  as far as I know, you can use any available with Windows ready boost FlashDrive. but I also know that Sandisk did not recommend this use due to the fact that the flash player will not wear in a period very short and may be you will lose data.

  so I suggest you to use the drive as a normal storage device.

• ReadyBoost steal my drive!

  After using a SD card with readyboost, readyboost (.sfcache) cache file is still present on the drive.

  Now the whole SD have become write-protected, and I can't seem to remove the cache file. And can't OPEN the file cache to boost my system again!

  I tried everything:

  1 format (comes with an error message "the disk is write protected")
  2. find the write protection and its dissolution.
  3. no limitation is provided on disk in any menu properties

  So I SHOULD be able to just delete the cache file, so that I can create a new one, but it will not simply fade away!

  Formatting, deletion, what so ever does not work.  So now I'm stuck with a cache file, that I can't use or delete, which holds 3.72 GBs of total 3, 73GBs.

  How can I fix the drive, so I can once again speed up my system?

  Help, please! And thanks to you all,.

  Kind regards

  Skoglund,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  Your SD card work properly until you used for ReadyBoost?  It allowed you to write in the same slot on the same computer?  What is the brand of your SD card?  There has been some issues with some cards and some readers where the write protection is not seen properly by the card reader.  This card SD has a physical write protect switch that you have to move manually write protect it or is it strictly software?  Some SD cards that have a physical switch to set the write protection can be forced to UN-protect by putting a piece of tape on the write protection switch so that the reader sees him as write protected.

• ReadyBoost and 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate

  I have a desktop Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  This desktop system has 8 GB of RAM.

  I have also a spare room jump drive (this one): http://store.lexar.com/?category=23&subcategory=36&productid=JDP4GB-431

  Two questions: with 8 GB of RAM, ReadyBoost will improve performance?  8 GB of RAM or RAM that ReadyBoost will have no appreciable effect?

  Secondarily, even if this USB is 4 GB, ReadyBoost is offering only the capacity of 2200 MB (2.2 GB) for this drive - this notwithstanding the reader is completely empty of other data.  ReadyBoost should not be able to take advantage of almost the full 4 GB of RAM offers this USB?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hey readyboost is really for pc with less than 2 GB of ram. As readyboost was created to eliminate the use of copy turbo boost (you can get laptops lenovo in computers)... with that said you actually have lots of memory and even nearby go using that much used to the average PC user. Only if you're a gamer in HD really intensive 3D, or you go crazy with photo devlopment will you begin to use more memory.

  in the truth and does most of the PC to run on 3-4 GB of ram. (4 the average user)
  to be honest, I have 8 GB in my HP d5200t ATX (custom) and the only time I need more ram is when I do the scans in the background while burning blueray movies and play call of duty 4 (really good game).
  So with 8 GB of ram, readyboost won't make a noticeable performance increase it might even slow it down according to your jump drives read and write speed.
  I hope this helps.

• Performance increase using SSD for paging/extraction/cache or ReadyBoost? (Win7)

  Hi, have an extra 16 GB SATA SSD and you are looking for a way to add my PC performance.  It would be useful for me to free 16 GB of the drive, if possible, or maybe speed up the system by a notch or two. Thought I might be able to move the pagination (fetch? cache?) files for the SSD of alternatives to increase the primary disk space, or designate the replacement ssd as a device for a slight speed boost readyboost. Any suggestions?

• How to enable the ReadyBoost feature?

  I would like to know how to enable the ReadyBoost feature.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?
  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  I would like to know if it is possible to assign an SSD internal to do this instead of using a USB drive or not.  I tried ReadyBoost option in SSD drive is not available.

  Do you have any suggestions?
  Thanks a lot for your suggestions :>

  Hello

  Sorry, but you cannot use an internal hard drive for ReadyBoost. Indeed, an SSD can not use ReadyBoost.

  This feature can use a USB flash drive external as a hard drive cache to improve the disk read performance.

• 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.

  Not an answer to your question, but let me point out the following:
  unless you have very little RAM on your computer, ReadyBoost is
  useless and will do nothing to improve your performance. Use of the
  drive for something else.

• There is no such thing as ReadyBoost on Services

  I just learn about ReadyBoost and you want to use it, but it is not on my list of Services (Local).  In alphabetical order, he goes from 'Quality Windows Audio Video Experience' to "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager".  It simply isn't there.  I have a system Dell XPS 7 years under Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1.  Is there a place I can download ReadyBoost outwardly into my Services menu so I can use it or any other means by which I can access?  Just to be clear: this isn't about activation or deactivation, find AutoPlay, etc..  (I already read all the messages.)  It comes from not NOT the HAVE AT ALL!  Someone please help!  Thank you very much in advance.

• ReadyBoost isn't available because sysmain is disabled

  Hello. I have been using readyboost for a couple of years now and have lost everything. My error message says that sysmain has been disabled. Can someone tell me how turn it back to the? I am the administrator and it happened once before. If it's any help, I recently re installed a new version of the factory of my OS, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with the help of PCWorld Knowhow. Everything else works perfectly.

  Yes, I'm back. I just had a look at the previous answers to this question (including mine, 2 years ago). Found the answer, the company and got sysmain and Readyboost on. Be sure to check all the answers on this Web site. Bravo, you have all.

  Hi Mark,

  Looks like the Readyboost "Sysmain" service has been turned off or is disabled
  Click Start and type Services in the area run.
  When the services icon right-click on it and choose "Run as Administrator"
  When the services dialog box appears click "Superfetch" twice and change the Startup Type to "Automatic" and restart your computer
  Hope this helps

• I am unable to use USB Stick 2.0 as ReadyBoost

  I'm playing a game that needs 4 GB of memory RAM. I have 3 GB. I heqrd that you can increase the RAM using a key 2.0 usb. Then I turned on Sysmain and tried my USB ReadyBoost. But it says:

  This device cannot be used for Readyboost.

  ReadyBoost is not enabled on this computer because the system disk is fairly quickly, so that the computer problably ReadyBoost will not accelerate.

  Problem well here, I will not speed up the computer I want to just play the game who does not start without RAM of 4 GB.

  So, how can I fix?
