  • ya need to ready boost like thing for the video card memory

    an if there are something like that out there... where?

    I have the alienware i7 - up to 3.5 Ghz with 16 GB of RAM and 80 GB SSD. The laptop is fast enough.  But I still wanted to make it faster. So, I use card memory 32 GB as a readyboost. I found that speed up really. Before using readyboost, it is best to ensure a speed reading / writing of USB or the memory card is high, otherwise you will have not the advantage of readyboost because the bottleneck of folklore.

    In my case, I used the class 10 SDHC memory card for my readyboost. The memory card is still able to take 3D videos and capable of storing video shooting 3D. My conclusion is don't blame the blessing of readyboost, just you have to find the right type of memory/USB with your existing laptop / computer.

    Use readyboost and enjoy the best performance

  • Can I use more than one flash drive to ready boost on Satellite L650/0ed

    Hello

    I have a toshiba Satellite L650/0ed, it's good if I use more than one drive 8 GB flash for "ready boost" - what is the maximum number of using flash-drives can devote to the "ready-boost.

    In addition, if I use a 16 gb flash drive, will this affect more memory "ready boost".

    Why the 3.5 drive seagate expansion 1 TB is not compatible for ready-boost.

    Thank you
    -Brent907

    Hi mate

    Please check this Microsoft page that describes the ReadyBosst
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/ReadyBoost

    There, you can find this statement:
    + ReadyBoost works with storage devices more flash. In Windows 7, it can handle more memory and even multiple devices * eight *, for a maximum of 256 GB of additional memory. +

    I hope this can be useful!

  • How to use Ready Boost, and what are the requirements for the use of portable hard drives and flash drives for use with Ready Boost?

    I have Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Edition and try to get Ready Boost to work on my PC using portable hard drives or flash drives. I have 2 portable hard drives (iomega 120gig, Seagate 250gig) and a 8gig sandisk cruzer flash drive. All this deterioration when you try to use the ready boost said that these discs only are not compatible or not supported. So what do I need?

    Not all readers will work with ReadyBoost. There are some readers who actually will specify that they are capable of ReadyBoost.

    By WikiPedia:

    • The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
    • The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s for 4 KB random read speeds indicates the spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write for 512 speed random writes spread uniformly across the device.

    You must also put the device and let it plugged in for ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is therefore best suited for a small thumbdrive (up to 4 GB) that greater thumbdrive or external HD that you would probably be disconnect from time to time.

    Open solutions Explorer window, find your Cruzer - right-click on it and click Properties. If there is a ReadyBoost tab, you can set up - set it to dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. It will be implemented and save a file on the USB key. Click Apply and're you good to go.

    A caveat which I can testify first-hand. Apparently while booting, Win 7 has trouble with some USB key - it will search the thumbdrive, the operating system, the process of starting to stall and you say: ' Missing Operating System ' - Fortunately the solution is very easy. Shut down the computer, remove the USB key, restart the computer and it will start normally. I had this happen with a 8 GB Cruzer. This seems to be a random thing, because I had the Cruzer plugged in and booted several times without encountering the error of missing operating system message. No idea why or why it is injury. Currently, I use a Kodak USB 2 gig key that seems to work very well.

  • How can I recover my original data files on my 8 GB USB Drive, I used to run Ready Boost.

    My laptop has Vista Home Premium.
    Using the option "speed up my system" when I logged on my 8 GB Transcend USB, I've probably activated Ready Boost.
    The USB was about 3.7 GB of data valuable personal (user - excel, word, jpg etc. files) also, but they are not visible or accessible more.
    However, the USB shows through properties, 3.70 GB of used space.
    Even after going to Option, properties of the removable disk, ReadyBoost, do not use this device, I'm not able to recover my original files.
    Help, please.

    You can try to recover the data with data recovery software. If this does not work, the only other option is to send the drive to a professional data, which is quite expensive recovery company. Only you can decide how your "valuable personal data" are interesting. And it's one of the reasons why we do not use USB thumb as succession only permanent drives.

    Data recovery software:

    R - Studio - http://www.r-tt.com/
    Recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuva

    Professional data recovery - I use Drive Savers for my clients, but there are others. General prices run $500-$ 3 700 with an average of about $2,700. I understand that some insurance companies now cover the cost data recovery so check with your insurer.

  • Should what format I use for my external hard drive?

    I have an external drive that I wish I could use (writing) from my Mac and my PC, but without the limitations of + 4 GB files.

    Is this possible or am I pasted with limiting the size? If so should what format I use on my external hard drive? and it has all the other notes aside I should know?

    Thank you!

    Hi Filabaca:

    If you want to use a hard drive external Mac and PC options are:

    1. format the drive in Mac as exFat

    2. format the drive to NTFS on a Windows PC and use a program like Paragon NTFS for Mac. https://www.Paragon-Software.com/home/NTFS-Mac/

    Paragon NTFS for Mac allows you to use a disc formatted in NTFS by a Windows PC.

    Here is an article showing the difference between FAT32, exFAT and NTFS. http://www.howtogeek.com/235596/whats-the-difference-between-fat32-exfat-and-ntf s /

  • Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.

    Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.  When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are

    1 mac OS extended (journaled)

    2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)

    3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)

    4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)

    See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support

    When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.

    • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
    • If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
  • Satellite P300 - 18 M - use the card reader for Vista Ready Boost OK?

    Hello

    I have a P300 - 18M, and due to get a new phone, have a spare Micro SD 8 GB card.
    I put it in the card reader, and I currently use it for Ready Boost, even though I have 3 GB of RAM, there is certainly a performance gain...

    However, no one knows if this could endanger the card reader? (IE damage it in any way) to be used all the time?

    Thank you

    Jack

    Hmm. I wonder about the 8 GB card Micro SD.
    As far as I know and according to some details in the internet, Satellite P300 supports the microSD (with adapter) 512 MB to 4 GB.
    Usually the laptop card reader s should recognize either large 4 GB microSD cards.

    However I doubt it might affect the functionality of the card reader in the worst case that the 8 GB microSD card will not be recognized by the card reader

  • For black and white images in technical manuals, what format do you prefer?

    So, I'm new in this company, and the person who me training uses the EMF format for images on the manuals.

    Do you think that a PNG file would be a better option for the illustrations?

    > ... 90% of the books are digital (burned on a CD)

    Most likely in the form of files PDF, whose users ends then view online or print locally?

    >... and 10% are printed in grayscale.

    What kind of press?

    You probably want the images optimized for online viewing.

    In the case of line drawings, this means remain in vector form, so that it evolves successfully and with a weight of race that is optimized for printing convenience and typical resolutions.

    In the case of raster art, in other words having a sufficient resolution to maintain retail printers convenience and reasonable zoom.

    Vector, to standardize the weight of around 0.2 point race, save in EPS and import the EPS. On versions later than version 7.x chassis, import PDF can be as stable and preserves the vector as a vector. SVG, I have not tested.

    For raster contone (grayscale or color), avoid the JPEG in the workflow. It is frozen and introduces artifacts. Never use it for screenshots or scans. Even if your camera image is JPG, convert it to a form uncompressed during edit and post-processing, such as PSD. Our resolution of delivery target for contone is 200 dpi. It's a little more of our press can solve, but offers a bit of zooming for PDF display. Save us the final images in EPS and those of import. TIF is also OK for this application (uncompressed). We will select the compression level when generating PDF.

    For bitmaps, even once avoid JPG. Optimize us these for 600 dpi (resolution of our press), save and import them under TIF (EPS is really awkward for bitmap).

    EPS is a little awkward to work with to framework, as what you see in the edition is a sticker or an extract (72 dpi), but what makes the PS or PDF is original vector or matrix full. But EPS is fast, rock solid, and (if you need) can preserve original CMYK color in Ps or PDF.
