Win7 turns on Readyboost to speed up computer

ReadyBoost is one of the important new features that Windows Vista has begun to add, and this feature has been further enhanced and more practical in Windows 7 systems. ReadyBoost takes advantage of flash random reads and writes and fragmented file reads and writes to improve system performance, mainly to help the memory expansion slot is not enough, capital or technical experience, so that people can not install memory. If you install Windows 7 system, but suffer from insufficient memory and slow system operation, then don't bother to try to use your USB flash drive or other mobile storage device to open Readyboost function to speed up the computer! To use the Readyboost function, you must first prepare a USB flash drive that supports the USB 2.0 interface or a flash memory in the computer's internal card reader. The 4k random read speed is greater than 3.5M/s, and the 512k random write speed is greater than 2.5M/s. At present, most mainstream U disk products on the market have been able to meet these indicators. Here, the seven children use Kingston DataTraveler 101.

Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port of the computer. We can see that the Windows 7 Explorer pops up the autoplay window. We select the "Accelerate my system" option, and the system will automatically open U. The Readyboost Features tab in the Disk Properties panel.

There are three options in the Readyboost Settings panel. Compared to Windows Vista, "This device is dedicated to ReadyBoost", this function can automatically All the remaining space in the USB flash drive is used for the Readyboost function; the third option can be set by us. Of course, if you are too "small" and set too small space for Readyboost, the effect of system acceleration is not obvious.
