Can I use Transcend DOM as a "readyboost" device?
A company called transcend manufactures a device called "Disk on Module",
basically it is a flash memory module that plugs into the ATA/IDE socket of a motherboard. I have one with 4GB. Can I use it as a readyboost device to improve Windows Vista boot time? |

Readyboost is a fancy marketing name for "We've noticed flash memory is faster than hard disk for running the pagefile, so if you have some flash memory in the system we can use that for the pagefile". It isn't some kinda super duper key to speed things up. If you think about this, and think some more about what you've actually done when you plug a flash memory module into an IDE port (e.g. installed a "hard disk" that runs at flash memory speeds), then what you need to do is treat your flash disk as no more than a very fast hard drive indeed, and move your pagefile onto the flash disk. -- Robert Moir http://www.rhymeswithgeek.com |
