I would agree MS support is pretty much useless. The system will not allow it and turns it off by default. If you run a SSD like i do, you cannot run Readyboost. And yes will have SOME effect with most all systems. I have well over 40 yrs of experience, not just books. But please don’t even try to tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. Most gaming systems don’t really see a improvement, especially if you use a SSD drive like myself and many others do now. You are more than welcome to your opinion about what it does or does not do. Here 2 of MANY articles about readyboost. You should try google before you accuse ppl of not knowing what they are talking about. Now what have you done? Yes it does effect load times and yes it does effect 4k files. I’ve built over 5000 sytems in my life (SUN servers and PC’s) Including 1 for NASA and 1 for the ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION. Owned a ISP for 8 yrs in 6 cities in central Indiana and did all the lead tech work and maintained servers, routers, dslam’s, etc (dialup & DSL). 3 in programming (COBOL, FORTRAN & BASIC). ( and on the original internet, called ARPANET) I have a degree in computer science. I was comm tech cryptic code with computers in Nam for the Military. Well I started in computers in 1971 with a IBM 300 series mainframe. (edited about 24 hours ago by Squall Leonhart.2075) ^only person in the thread who knows whats what!.Īnd indeed, readyboost is useless for startups and boot improvements because as i said, it is invalidated at every start, unlike eboostr which is permanent (choosing instead to encrypt the cached data) Since Readyboost is still limited by the main HDD speed. Only the harddrive the OS is on and the physical RAM. Software like eboostr is better because the cache can be made permanent and improves boot and login times, eboostr works well with super fetch as well, as files hit often by superfetch are most likely to exist in the eboostr cache, and eboostr (and stuff like Corsairs SSD filter) can be used to precache stuff with an SSD, unlike ReadyBoost. It doesn’t help bootup’s much at all, because it is rebuilt every startup and only caches files up to 4k in size. Readyboost is a session built FILE CACHE, it hasn’t got much to do with ram at all, but rather reducing the delays that mechanical hdd’s have with reading tiny files sequentially. As usual, people who have no idea what readyboost does are posting.
