ReadyBoost Q&A
tomarcher 2 Jun 2006 6:06 PM 443
Back in April, I posted a blog entry on the ReadyBoost feature - the Windows Vista feature that allows you to use a
USB key as virtual memory in order to enhance performance. While I originally intended the post to be an overview
of ReadyBoost, it proved quite popular and garnered quite a few questions seeking more detail. I apologize that it's
taken this long, but I've finally tracked down "the man" who could provide the answers - Matt Ayers, who is the
Program Manager in the Microsoft Windows Client Performance group and basically owns the ReadyBoost feature.
Instead of updating the original post, I created this new post entry that will be the home of the Q&A I receive. That
way, people won't have to wade through opinions and comments and can come to this post to see only Q&A.
Note: Matt will be speaking at Tech*Ed where he will present a session on on Vista Perf Improvements
(ReadyBoost, ReadyDrive and SuperFetch – CLI312)
From Matt Ayers:
"I'm the Program Manager in the Microsoft Windows Client Performance group and own the ReadyBoost feature. I
wanted to give some offical answers based on the excellent questions and discussions that I've seen in this blog, to
date. Also, I'll be using this as a starting point for the official ReadyBoost FAQ.
Overall, as many posters have pointed out, the feature is designed to improve small random I/O for people who
lack the expansion slots, money, and or technical expertise to add additional RAM. As y’all know, adding RAM is still
the best way to relieve memory pressure.
Thanks, again, for your interest, questions and ideas."
Q: What perf do you need on your device?

A: 2.5MB/sec throughput for 4K random reads and 1.75MB/sec throughput for 512K random writes
Q: My device says 12MB/sec (or 133x or something else) on the package but windows says that it isn't
fast enough to use as a ReadyBoost device... why?
A: Two possible reasons:
1. The numbers measure sequential performance and we measure random. We've seen devices that have great
sequential perf, but horrible random
2. The performance isn't consistantly fast across the entire device. Some devices have 128M of lightning fast
flash and the rest of the device is really slow. This is fine for some applications but not ReadyBoost.
Q: What's the largest amount of flash that I can use for ReadyBoost?
A: You can use up to 4GB of flash for ReadyBoost (which turns out to be 8GB of cache w/ the compression)
Q: Why can't I use more than 4GB of flash?

A: The FAT32 filesystem limits our ReadyBoost.sfcache file to 4GB
Q: What's the smallest ReadyBoost cache that I can use

A: The smallest cache is 256MB (well, 250 after formatting). Post beta2, we may drop it another 10 MB or so.
Q: Ok... 256M-4GB is a pretty big range... any recommendations?

A: Yes. We recommend a 1:1 ratio of flash to system memory at the low end and as high as 2.5:1 flash to system
memory. Higher than that and you won't see much benefit.
Q: Isn't this just putting the paging file onto a flash disk?
A: Not really - the file is still backed on disk. This is a cache - if the data is not found in the ReadyBoost cache, we fall
back to the HDD.
Q: Aren't Hard Disks faster than flash? My HDD has 80MB/sec throughput.
A: Hard drives are great for large sequential I/O. For those situations, ReadyBoost gets out of the way. We
concentrate on improving the performance of small, random I/Os, like paging to and from disk.
Q: What happens when you remove the drive?

A: When a surprise remove event occurs and we can't find the drive, we fall back to disk. Again, all pages on the

device are backed by a page on disk. No exceptions. This isn't a separate page file store, but rather a cache to speed
up access to frequently used data.
Q: Isn't user data on a removable device a security risk?

A: This was one of our first concerns and to mitigate this risk, we use AES-128 to encrypt everything that we write to
the device.
Q: Won't this wear out the drive?

A: Nope. We're aware of the lifecycle issues with flash drives and are smart about how and when we do our writes to
the device. Our research shows that we will get at least 10+ years out of flash devices that we support.
Q: Can use use multiple devices for EMDs?

A: Nope. We've limited Vista to one ReadyBoost per machine
Q: Why just one device?

A: Time and quality. Since this is the first revision of the feature, we decided to focus on making the single device
exceptional, without the difficulties of managing multiple caches. We like the idea, though, and it's under
consideration for future versions.
Q: Do you support SD/CF/memory stick/MMC/etc.?

A: Mostly. In beta2, we added support for a small number of SD/CF cards on internal USB2 & PCIe busses. RC1 has a
much broader support range.
Q: Why don't you support SD on my USB2.0 external card reader?

A: We unfortunately don't support external card readers - there were some technical hurdles that we didn't have
time to address. In general, if a card reader shows a drive without media in it (like a floppy drive or CD ROM does),
we can't use it for ReadyBoost.
Q: Will it support all USB drives, regardless of how they are ID'd to the OS ("hard disk drive" or "Device
with Removable Storage")?
A: We have no way to tell what is on the other end of a USB cable so we do some basic size checks (since no one has
a 200GB flash device ;-) ) and then perform our speed tests. HDD will not, however, pass our speed tests, and there
is no benefit to using a USB HDD for ReadyBoost.
Q: Can you use an mp3 player to speed up your system?

A: Not currently. MP3 players use the 'plays for sure' interfaces to expose themselves to Windows. We require that
the device appear as a disk volume. These aren't currently compatible.
Q: How much of a speed increase are we talking about?

A: Well, that depends. On average, a RANDOM 4K read from flash is about 10x faster than from HDD. Now, how
does that translate to end-user perf? Under memory pressure and heavy disk activity, the system is much more
responsive; on a 4GB machine with few applications running, the ReadyBoost effect is much less noticable.
Q: I can't get my device to work with ReadyBoost... can I lower the perf requirements?
A: Unfortunately, no. We've set the perf requirements to the lowest possible throughput that still makes your
system faster. If we lowered the perf requirements, then there wouldn't be a noticeable benefit to using ReadyBoost.
Remember, we're not adding memory, we're improving disk access.
Q: Which manufacturers support ReadyBoost?

A: Well, I hope that all of them do, eventually. Right now, we're working with manufacturers to create a program
that will allow them to identify ReadyBoost capable devices on their packaging.

Hi Tom, I've a little question, how can I find a list of Windows Vista languages, you know Microsoft
accepted "Persian" instead of "farsi" and I expect; in Vista, Microsoft will name my language Persian and
not "farsi", anymore!, it make me very happy to see Microsoft such perfect ! but unfortunately one of
my friends told me he saw "farsi" is still used in Vista Beta (I think Beta1). Now, is there any way to find
the list of Vista's pri. languages? and if it's still "farsi" in Vista, how can I convince you (I don't really
think it's needed because Microsoft had accepted it : (Note3)>http://msdn.microsoft.com/library

Hi,
What about pc's with a memory size of 4GB for example? Can I decide to use a part of my motherboard
memory as virtual memory istead of a USB storage device?
Can some one tell me more about this issue.

I've not noticed any difference with my SanDisk Cruzer Mini 512MB stick plugged in, with it set to use
all of the stick's capacity. I've got 1GB of RAM, so I imagine Vista is pretty much constantly paging. I
have two raid0 arrays, one with a couple of 200gig Seagate 7200rpm drives, and the other a couple of
80gig Western Digital 7200rpm drives. I have set aside the first 1.5GB or so of the Western Digital array
for my pagefile. This means that the pagefile is residing only on the first 768MB or so of each of those
drives. Out of 80gigs, 768MB is a pretty small distance for the heads to be travelling. I have the OS
installed on a 30gig partition of the Seagate array, the first partition of that one. All my programs are
installed on the same 30gig partition. I keep most of my data on the remaining ~370gig partition, as
well as any games. The remaining ~158gigs of the other array is mainly for backups and old data, etc,
so that array with the pagefile is used 99.9% of the time just for paging activity. It pretty much sees no
use other than paging in my day to day activities. This gives that array a pretty much ideal scenario for
paging. The area it has to access is very, very small, and it does nothing else so there is nothing else
competing for access to it. And the OS and programs etc are all on their own on a seperate array, so
their activity has zero impact on paging performance.
Now, having set all that out, I've got to say that I would not be able to tell you whether or not I've got
the USB stick plugged in and set to ReadyBoost duty. I can't tell any improvement has appeared after
plugging it in and setting it for ReadyBoost with all its capacity. It's probably safe to say that this raid0
array for paging sees at least 80-100MB/s in sequential read/write access. And I fail to see how even the
worst-case scenario of random access *just for paging* is going to slow it down to the point where the
USB stick is going to be beneficial. The absolute worst random load you could put on it is still only
going to be in that small first 768MB of each drive in the array. I can't imagine the access time in that
small area is going to hurt the performance enough for the USB stick to make a difference.
I can understand if you've only got a single drive in the machine, and thus have the same drive doing
paging duty and the rest of the file access duty, and have a USB stick help out in that situation. The
drive is going to be experiencing a lot more head movement since it is being used for a lot more than
just paging. And it could be moving the heads throughout the whole span in that case.
So, should I really be seeing any difference in my case? With a more or less dedicated raid0 array for
paging? Because I can't tell the difference at all.

Thanks Matt Ayers giving us this Q&A, after reading this, I got few questions,
1) about 4Gb of Flash, I heard someone format it as NTFS. By doing so, will it support higher Gb of
flash?
(Source from a test in http://www.msblog.org/?p=716)
2) ReadyBoost is "cache" of the paging-file on disk? That means it will write to flash(as cache) then to
disk? But it reads from flash then from disk(if no found from flash)?
3) > In general, if a card reader shows a drive without

> media in it (like a floppy drive or CD ROM does),

> we can't use it for ReadyBoost.
I don't understand(may be my bad english). If my computer is showing them as removable storage
Drive (H:, I:, J:, K:...etc, my one is USB external multi-card-type reader), but not floppy drive or CD ROM,
Could my external Reader works with SD?
4) Do you(Matt Ayers) have blog? I would like to contact u, cause I am looking for a topic to speak in

Plenty of MP3 players that don't support PlaysForSure id to Windows as a drive letter; if they're Flash
and they have free space will they work for ReadyBoost? (I know you can block flash drives you don't
want to use, before anyone frets about it).

re: Windows Ready Boost - Windows Vista
Shorty-CM 16 Jun 2006 5:39 PM #

well, a couple weeks ago I wrote a whole big long thing about how I doubt that ReadyBoost will
perform better than a dedicated raid0 partition/drive that is used for nothing but pagefile duty. Don't
know what happened to that post. Anyways, yeah, I doubt it would be faster than a raid0 drive that is
doing nothing else but pagefile duty. Though I can see how it might help out a lot in a system that only
has a single HD that is being used for OS, programs, and pagefile, all at the same time. Somehow I
doubt that a raid0 drive that gets a sustained 85MB/s is going to be slower than a USB flash drive,
especially considering the drive's heads will only be moving the very small distance of the first 2-3GB of
the array. In that situation the access time is going to be very quick, and obviously the flash drive isn't
going to touch the transfer rate. Yes, we're talking about relatively random, and small, transactions.
But we're also talking about a very small portion of the array being used. Access time will still be
slower than the flash memory's, but I doubt it is going to matter. Would be nice if we had some kind of
stand-alone benchmark to test devices, rather than only the one that is built into Vista. Would make
shopping for a suitable flash drive, for instance, very easy.

Will it make any difference to ReadyBoost performance if you have the USB flashdrive set up to
"Optimize for 1) Quick removal or 2) Best Performance/
Thanks,
Zack

I'm Using a SimpleTech Bonzai USB SD card reader. I have tried sizes from 512 MB to 4GB all work for
ready boost I have used mostly SimpleTech SD cards as well as SanDisk. I was surprised to see how
much activity it get's since my system already has 4GB of system ram I have however long disabled the
page file on the HDD. HDD may be fast for a lot of things but really can't take the constant small IO
often needed for page files (even if using the beginning of the drive or in raid 0) The flash drive
although does not have the ability to write a few hundred MB of data fast does have a near 0 wait to
begin write. The things it get’s used for, it is done doing with it "slow speed" before a HDD has been
able to move its head to start writing and the biggest benefit is from reading not writing on nearly all
flash drives reading is a lot faster and further improves things. I plan to attach a spare 4GB SD card to a
unused port on the back of my computer and just forget about it. As for NTFS (this may be new to beta
2) it used cards formatted NTFS and FAT32 identically. Fat32 is that way all card come from the store
but you can format them NTFS if needed for compression file permissions etc. FAT32 cannot make a file
over 4GB that's one of its limitations. NTFS however can make files much much larger thought I don't
have any cards over 4GB to test the file limit at this time I suspect it would work ok. However a note on
that. You are not adding ram for once size is not everything. Your using this disk for small files and IO a
few K at a time if all goes well. These small files are why Flash is better that HDD if large IO is needed the
HDD is still used and preferred. That said 1-2GB is plenty for most applications and you'll see huge
diminished returns approaching 4gb or higher at least with today’s drives and technology, and for
some time to come. As for some drives not appearing fast enough you do realize if the drive is too slow
even with 0 wait to write it will be slower that the average HDD hence no "boost" at all since this is not
adding ram but rather IO speed is more important that capacity. This is the reason for the speed limit. a
good point was the one about a trick many drives try using two speeds of flash some fast flash and a
bunch of slow flash. the fast is used first to make the drive look fast when you save a file to it then
quietly and slowly moved to the bulk slow stuff. most of the time this is not an issue and helps keep the
drives really cheap. however for this IO type work Vista needs any part of the drive it may need to be
just as fast. this is why a lot of devices will not work. SD and CF cards in readers that support the proper
profiles such as the one i mentioned should normally be ok. SD and CF are normally all same speed
flash and all of its normally pretty quick. I saw a question about CF on IDE. That will not give you any
improvement actually i doubt it will even work even though it is flash since it's using IDE to the
motherboard Vista will likely think it's a small HDD and not even offer ReadyBoost for it. even if it did it
will be no better the flash itself is the slowest part no flash device yet can use even 1/10th of the USB 2.0
or IDE buss speeds (actually in a perfect world and no USB hubs USB technically could be faster) I hope I
further cleared up some questions on an already great article.
Brandon 2 Jul 2006 1:59 AM #

I have what was supposed to be one of the fastest USB flash drives on the market - the Transcend
JetFlash 110 (1GB size). I was puzzled why Vista wouldn't use it for ReadyDrive until I checked the Event
Log for ReadyDrive and saw this:
The device (JetFlash TS1GJF110) will not be used for a ReadyBoost cache because it does not exhibit
uniform performance across the device. Size of fast region: 120 MB.
So it looks like Transcend cheaped out in manufacturing and made only 120 of the 1000 megs out of
the high-speed material. Sucks for me.

Perhaps the entry on card readers needs revising?
I'm on Vista beta 2. USB 2.0 is via a NEC PCI card.
I have a no-name multi card reader into which I've inserted a 512M Memory Stick PRO Duo. Vista
accepted this and has put a 410MB file onto it.
I can't tell if it is actually using that 410MB file, but it didn't complain at any point.
BTW it's a bit annoying that I can't use a 256M CF card because however I format it, it's always got
slightly less than the required 256M available, so yes, it might be sensible to reduce the requirement by
e.g. 20M.

Hi,
I would like to know how Vista decides whether the Device is capable for ReadyBoost. Your QA gives a
partial answer that "we do some basic size checks and then perform our speed tests" , but is it only the
size and speed of the disk device that decides this or any other registry/device setting is present?

worked with ReadyBoost. It may just be the default allocation size that made it work though, for all I
know the SD card may have come formatted with some standard allocation size for FAT32. Still,
changing the allocation size or the file system may work for others.

Has Microsoft or its OEM partners expressed any interest in including some internal flash memory with

I'd like to see 4GB flash directly on the motherboard for just this sort of thing. Maybe even skip the
USB/PCI bus all together and provide a quick DMA channel between the flash cache and memory.

skeptical) you'll get 10%. Absolute tops. Improvement.
Doubling your RAM would be a massively higher benefit. Quadroupling it probably even better.

I tried with my iPod Nano 4GB with no success. Has anyone else tried this?
I thought it would work perfectly as the flash RAM appears fast but perhaps not. I'll need to check the

Is MS going to certify USB drives that are Readboost-capable once Vista comes out? How much more
expensive will they be than regular flash drives. You can get a two gig flash for less than $40 now. I
hope if they do certify, the price is going to be comparable.

In some cases even a slower USB device could help. For example an older notebook with 1G ram and a
slow HDD (4200RPM). It these cases you can enable readyboost with a slow device.
1. Let Vista test is, and check the Do not Retest this device checkbox.
2. Unplug the device
3. Go to regedit
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EMDMgmt
4.find the key related to you device (the device vendor and name is in the key)
5. Change the follwing values:
Device Status 0x02
ReadSpeedKBs 0x1000
WriteSpeedKBs 0x1000
6. Plug the device, right click on it to open properties and enable cache.

Scott Kingery 14 Sep 2006 1:40 PM #

I'm running RC1 and have a 256MB USB flash drive. 256MB seems small to me for ReadyBoost but I
figure every little bit helps so I've set it up.
At first it wouldn't qualify the drive as able to use ReadyBoost. Not sure but I think it was formated FAT.
Anyway I though NTFS might be best so I tried that. Still no go. Then FAT32 and it is working!
Then I was goofing around and went to FAT and still no go. Then Fat32, still no go. Then NTFS, still no
go. FAT32 again and presto!
So...seems, at least in my case, that if you can't get your disk to qualify, try NTFS first then immediatly
reformat to FAT32.
The flash disk I'm using is a DANE ELEC (they came in a pack of 4 from Costco)

I have Vista RC1 and a 4GB Sandisk Cruzer Mini. I got the flash drive when it first came out and it works
with ReadyBoost. I have 2 GB of RAM, so running programs, I did not notice much of a performance
boost, but when I played a game, it did seem to load a little faster (couple seconds-->Stopwatch), but
not much.
Also I formatted this flash drive into NTFS and it works charmingly.

Shorty-CM 15 Sep 2006 5:04 AM #

as MS says, lots of "fast" sticks use a combination of a smaller portion of very fast flash, and a larger
portion of slower flash, so perhaps that's the case with that stick. And don't forget, sequential transfer
rate isn't what's important for this application. It's how fast it is at random 4KB accesses. Being fast at
transferring large files back and forth isn't the same as quickly transferring large amounts of 4KB blocks.
This is why ReadyBoost can be so helpful, because hard drives typically suck at very small, very random
transactions. But flash can be very fast at that type of access.
Bård Tommy 15 Sep 2006 5:18 AM #

yes, but this is not the case
http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1706&page=2
there you can se an benchmarktest with sandra 2005
Buffered Read : 17 MB/s

Sequential Read : 17 MB/s
Random Read : 14 MB/s
Buffered Write : 2641 kB/s
Sequential Write : 11 MB/s
Random Write : 7 MB/s
Average Access Time : 15 ms
isnt that qualified ?

I think you're missing the point entirely. MS benchmarks the stick using 4KB reads, no more, no less. It
randomly reads 4KB blocks from all over the stick. And if it can't do enough of those reads per second,
it fails the stick. It doesn't matter what any other benchmark program says the stick can do. All that
matters is whether or not the stick can do enough random 4KB reads per second to meet what MS says
is enough per second. Transfer rate is almost irrelevant. All that matters is number of 4KB reads per
second. This is almost all about access time, not transfer rate. The fact that your stick can do 17MB/s
reads is meaningless when it comes to ReadyBoost. And it says right there that its access time is 15ms,
that is INSANELY SLOW for flash drives. This value should be well under 1ms, well, well under. 15ms
means that the most transactions it could do per second is 66.67, this is even slower than some hard
drives. And the whole point of ReadyBoost is to be faster than hard drives for this type of usage. You
obviously need to scroll back to the top of this page and read the questions and answers again. They
already contain the answers you need.
RickW 15 Sep 2006 6:20 AM #

The Apacer Handy Steno HT203 1Gb scores as follows:
The device ( USB FLASH DRIVE) is suitable for a ReadyBoost cache. The recommended cache size is
899072 KB. The random read speed is 4146 KB/sec. The sequential write speed is 6284 KB/sec.
This is FAT with a really small block size.

Dave 23 Sep 2006 5:36 AM #

Just wondering if you can software RAID usb in vista, would be great raiding 4 usb pens and using them
for readyboost

you wouldn't gain anything. ReadyBoost is essentially doing random 4KB reads. RAID0, which I guess
you were referring to, wouldn't speed that up at all. It would be using much larger units to stripe with.
The only way it could be made faster is if ReadyBoost were able to use more than one stick, itself. The
MS guys have said they have thought of that scenario, too, but it was too complex to implement for the
first release of Vista. So perhaps in a future release we'll see multiple sticks being available for
ReadyBoost.
Dave 23 Sep 2006 6:39 AM #

Ok, thanks for the reply, I was also wondering if there are any plans or have already been developed for

well, you can get devices that look like an IDE hard drive to the OS that actually take ram, which is
similar to your idea. But they're going to be faster, since they'll be using IDE instead. They're not
exactly cheap, though. Usually called a solid-state drive. Used to be really expensive, but now you can
get one for something resembling a reasonable price. Probably more than worth it if you have the
need for one.

IS there any easy method to locate the page files (and any other MS files) at an hard location within a
disk volume, that would minimized seek time? If so, how how could one keep optimazation(sp) over
disk defraging? If so, how could one calculate a new suggested hard location as the usage increases.
Could somebody point me to any white papers?
Also, does it make any sense to place Temp files and folders on a flash drive. What would the cost of
reformatting per start/restart would be? Would there be any unstablizing of the restart of
applications? Does anybody have any Guidelines?

optimal hard drive pagefile would be on a completely seperate hard drive, right at the very start, which
is the fastest portion of the drive. So that pagefile access doesn't impact your hard drive access, at least
not directly. They'll still have to live with each other on the PCI bus, but they won't have to compete for
the same drive head(s). Naturally, the best thing to do in all cases is install more ram if you can.
ReadyBoost just provides extra help if that is something you can't do. Obviously reducing pagefile
access as much as possible is a better solution. Once you've done that, you can worry about making
pagefile access better, via ReadyBoost and other steps.

Why ReadyBoost create this ReadyBoost.sfcache FILE on this flash disk file system ?
You have full control over file system and all it's datastructures. It was easy to put cache only in free
sectors. Anyway you will be able to validate that data in thouse sectors are legit (not overriden by other
non-ready boost aware OS) becouse of encryption.
This will also allow users to not delete entire file then then need more space but simply use flash disk as
is and override data on demand.
Probably I need to file a patent on this. ;-)

Alex 27 Sep 2006 4:11 PM #

Hi, thanks for clarifying. Since it's possible to surprise remove at any time, I kind of assumed it only
dealt with executable pages, which are dumped to flash, but can be fetched back from disk if the flash
becomes unavailable.
Using it as a cache for *all* data makes even more sense.
Shorty-CM 27 Sep 2006 4:25 PM #

I don't think windows treats executable code pages or data pages any differently. It just concerns itself
with whether or not pages are getting accessed, regardless of type, and makes its decisions based on
that access. As for surprise removal of the device, all pages on the ReadyBoost device are also on disk.
The ReadyBoost device is just a cache of what's on disk. So it won't matter if/when you yank the
device, nothing bad's gonna happen.

ReadyBoost is pure marketing BS.
I'm running Vista RC2 with 1GB, and I have a 2GB Kingston DataTraveler Elite (one of the fastest USB
flash memory sticks).
I plugged in to a USB2 port directly to my motherboard. I set ReadyBoost to the Windows

recommended value of 1880MB and performance *plummeted*.
Media Centre used to be perfectly smooth. Using ReadyBoost, it stutters and is unwatchable. I *cannot*
use ReadyBoost whilst watching TV on the media centre.
Readers, please don't think that ReadyBoost will solve any performance problems for you, or act as
extra RAM. It will do effectively nothing but use up your USB memory. Forget about it until the next
generation of fash flash disks come out:

The ReadyBoost feature will reveal its full potential once combined with mainboards that contain
embedded flash memory chips. Using large quantities of flash (2-4GB) will enable the system not only
to boost its speed, but to cold start boot alltogether from flash. As it is, for ReadBoost to be effective it
requires top-notch NAND flash (preferably dual channel), or the new type OneNAND that is developed
by Samsung and STMicroelectronics.

Using ReadyBoost on a 4GB iPod Nano. At first the device was too slow for ReadyBoost, but after a
defrag it works great. I have 1GB of RAM and I used to notice that icons and thumbnails would take a
few milliseconds to show up, but now they are just there. Great work!
I'm wondering though...can I restart without removing the device? Is that safe? I ask because I'm curious
to know if the sf file remains on the iPod during a restart. I know Vista destroys the file if I safely remove
the device.
Actually I've never restarted without safely removing the device, because I'd rather not risk losing 3GB
of music.
If the sf file is destroyed after restarting, maybe it'd be a good idea to have it persist...or at least let the

Hi guys. Can a solid state disk, attached internally via an IDE or SATA interface be used as a
ReadyDrive? This question has been asked in the forum, but not answered. We just installed Windows
Vista RC2 and our solid state disks (SSDs) from PQI (using Samsung NANDs) go out to customers the
same day they come in, so we have not been able to test weather Windows Vista will use these IDE or
SATA flash disks as readyboost. Is ReadyBoost limited to a USB interface? Or can Vista tell that the disk
is made of flash? I'm hoping the latter, especially due to hybrid support.
We sell SSDs from 4GB to 32GB (and 64GB coming soon. Even an SSD with IDE on one side, and SATA
on the other!) . PQI just came out with a USB 2.0 SSD called a "DOM" for Disk on Module. It plugs into
your motherboard's internal 10-pin USB header and will surely work for ReadyBoost and is significantly
faster than any other flash stick I have seen. 22MB/s read, 17MB/s write. We'll be getting one for
ourself for testing in the next couple weeks.
Check out the SSDs at http://www.dvnation.com/nand-flash-ssd.html . We also have a message board.
dvnation.com 19 Nov 2006 10:06 AM #

Alternatively, you could buy a 32GB Solid State Disk just to install Windows and its swap file. That
should be enough as long as you install all your programs and data files to a separate hard disk. This
way you get super-fast OS performance. Even a 15MB/s SSD will boot Windows Vista 21% faster on a
laptop. The new 32GB SSDs operate at 24 - 32MB/s so performace will be even better. <1ms access
times seem to give a better performance than higher sustained throughput, as evidenced by our
Microsoft Man's saying its the 4K random reads that are cached and improve performance.

decrease in boot time. Then I let the system sit idle for a long time. I came back in the room and even
though I hadn't opened even one program, Windows was thrashing the hard disk, taking the time,
evidently, to cache to the ReadyDrive. The next time I booted, the system booted 3 seconds faster

(11.5%). I bought the internal USB SSD at http://www.dvnation.com/nand-flash-ssd.html . It is much

more than $40, but it is also significantly faster than external sticks and works great.
The guys at DV Nation had the same experience and have a some good information at
http://www.dvnation.com/windows-vista-readyboost-readydrive.html . There is a link there to a forum
about solid state disks as well.
I think this solution should boot windows faster than a hybrid drive, considering the capacity of
compatible sticks is 2GB to 4GB, and the flash memory on a hybrid drive (when they come out next
year) is only 128MB or 256MB, and I have only heard of comparitively slow laptop drives with that tech.

Cotonou Benin Republic.
My Dear.
Pleasure writing to you at this moment of the day,I am Mrs.Fatim Ali the Personal Assistance To The
director Incharge of files and Company Secret Vault where deposited items are kept. I deem it fit to
contact you regarding to a transaction that will favour both of us at the end.I got your contact in my
search for a reputable and reliable person to help me claim the fund in question. I discovered the sum
of ($30M)Thirty million United States Dollars belonging to a deceased customer of this Security
Company.
The fund has been lying in a suspence Vault as a family treasure without anybody coming to put claim
over the money since the Owner late Coporal Fredrik Whisky,from Sierra-Leone, who was involved in
the December 25th Benin plane crash,here is the air crash
website. http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html
The said Fund registered as (FAMILY TREASURE) is now ready for transfer to our foriegn Vault account
whose owner will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of kin to the deceased customer of the
Security Company. The foriegn Vault account owner will impost himself/herself as the next of kin to the
deceased and respond positively like a true next of kin who wishes to speed up the release and transfer
of his inherited (FAMILY TREASURE).
If the over due family treasure if not claimed by the end of next quarter, the government of the Federal
Republic of Benin will take over the ownership of the treasure in line with the Federal Edict Act of 1979. I
do not want the government to take over the ownership of this Treasure, that is why I contacted you for
us to do the deal together, so that i will portray you as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased whose
name is Coporal Fredrik Whisky.
If you accept to carry out this project with me, i will offer you 40% of the total sum, while I take 60% of
the total sum.Upon your acceptance to do this deal with me, i will jointly effect the transfer within eight
working days.Be rest assured that, this transaction carries no risk and no extra responssibilities on your
19 of 53 12/20/2010 8:41 AM
part, except the above mentioned roles and normally you will be required to maintain absolute
information and absolute secrecy throughout the duration of this transaction, because discussing it
with a third party might jeopardise the entire transaction.
I am looking forward to receiving your interesting response on this project as this will greatly enrich
both of us at the end. Your acceptance email should be sent to my Private Email Address:
(mrs_fatiz01@myway.com)
Best Regards,
Mrs.Fatim Ali.

I installed Vista 64 bit on an HP dc7700 Pentium D proc, 2 GB ram, 160GB HD.. I plugged in a 1GB USB
key, it asked if i wanted to make it readyboost. I said yes. It made the USB key readyboost.
I then installed 32bit Vista on the same machine, wiping out the partition and formatting the USB key
(FAT) and it said that didnt meet performance criteria to be readyboost enabled.
Weird huh?
And there is no way to tell why it wont accept it anymore...

Guys as a company wishing to take advantage of readyboost when we eventually roll it out we
purchased a number of 2GB USB drives that we know to be compatible with ReadyBoost and the results
so far seem to indicate that you should not use FAT32, either with the "Performance" policy against the
device or the "Optimise for quick removal" - write performance in all cases so far is far worse than FAT.
This probably won't be a huge difference to ReadyBoost since it's testing (I presume) *read*
performance. But given that read performance doesn't change much with either FAT or FAT32 I'd
recommend for the time being sticking with FAT. I'll be happy to upload the final results - it's hardly
exhaustive but I've tried out about 5 key rings so far.

I connected USB2 SATA HDD to Vista, created a 4 GB partition.
I have 1024 MB system mem.
My 4GB part formatted to NTFS cause inFAT32 much slower, and set the ReadyBoost to 1024MB . Its
works fine, write-read speed is about 50MB/s on the SATA HDD, but i cant realize that my system is
faster then before, only that, after a while, my freememory is much more than before.
I still cant understand why readyboost is necessary in Vista???
Buy high speed 2GB DDR2 mem, set virt.mem to 200MB, I think its much faster than ReadyBoobs tech...

Well, now I'm really peeved.
I went out and bought a SanDisk Extreme III 2 gigabyte SD card with, apparently, the best read-write
performance possible and when I plug it in my laptop (Phillips Freevents ) the thing refuses to allow me
to use the ReadyBoost feature.
Can we get hold of some sort of "Ready for readyboost" application to test the criteria?

Hello.
I used both a 512Kb Kingston SD card and a 4.0 Gb Sandisk Cruzer micro and ReadyBoost works with
both (one at a time). However I realized a very annoying problem with readyboost in two laptops (a
Thinkpad T43 and a no-brand AMD athlon 3000+): Vista seems to freeze for some miliseconds each
second. I tried to copy large files to the sandisk and to the SD card and when writing or reading from
the USB pen or from SD card there is no freeze at all. The problem only happens when the media has
readyboost enabled or the readyboost service is Started.
Does somebody is experiencing this issue?
XY 29 Dec 2006 4:11 AM #

Another interesting thing:
I enabled ReadyBoost at 512 MB.
My system disk had 30gb free space, but after becomed 37GB.
So, how readyboost works exectaly???

I have just tried readyboost on my new 4Gb flash SD card (From maplin for £60 in their sale) with a
sandisk 12-in-1 card reader.
My PC is rubbish - Sempron 2500+ with 512Mb ram and an old 60Gb hard disk. I only used to use it for
remote access to work and for web browsing so I decided to put Vista Ultimate on it about a month
ago (it used to run windows 2000) - I was actually quite pleased with how fast Vista is on quite modest
hardware.
Readyboost option popped up just fine when I inserted the card and it gave me the option of using the
whole 4Gb which I thought was a bit wasteful so I just used 2Gb.
It's a revelation! The system is now just so much more responsive. Clearly my PC is short on memory. I
know this, but I don't want to add more because its an old PC. Running Vista on it now feels really nice
though. Brilliant feature.

Hi Matt,
I've got a weird one. I use a Dell OptiPlex GX620 and have boosted it with a 4 GB high speed flash drive
through an IOGear USB 2.0 flash reader. It works great, but my partner has the exact same system and I
can't get the same flash/USB reader combination to some up with the ReadyBoost feature. When I
launch Autoplay, it only sees it as a disk and not as a potential tool to speed up the system. Is there
something I can do to force the ReadyBoost feature to turn on?
Please help!

I user USB2 SATA HDD for Readyboost with NTFS File System, 4090 offered size. Write and read speed
at this hardware is 16MB/s.
I tested it with Reliability and.... MMC profram integrated in Vista, and this HDD solution is much faster
then I use a high speed USB key.
You can test it when your Vista started with desktop, then run Reliability tool, scroll down Disk option,
and short the opened file by location, there you can see X:\Readyboostsuperfetch file sg. like that. You
can see how many bytes are written and readed /s.
With USB HDD data speed is 9MB/s-35MB/s
With USB key (4GB high speed) is 1MB/s-5MB/s
So, consider that you buy an expensive 4GB USB key or, for this amount you can buy 250GB sata
300MB/s HDD.

If you want to find out the speed of the memory test just run regedit and goto and find your device
underneath:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EMDMgmt
There's a read and a write number, so if your usb memory is too slow you know how slow.. You can of
course change these values and set the DeviceStatus = 2 to get it working but that defeats the purpose
of the performance increase..
I tried a few memory sticks and the interesting test was that my 35 dollar GeekSquad 2gb beat out the
60 dollar Micro Cruzer 1gb by a mile..

I have a question though, why doesn't Vista support multiple flash drivers? Couldn't Vista use them in a
Raid configuration, writing 1/n of each chunk to each drive?
Also, is it possible for developers like myself to create our own ReadyBoost software with improved
functionality?
Btw, this is my first week with Vista and I'm freaking out. This is the best OS ever.

I still have one question, which might have been answered. When formatting the flash drive, how big
should would make the clusters? I understand that 4KB is all you NEED, but would formatting to 512KB
allow for overall better read/write access (at the cost of a few megs of overall usable pagefile size.) I
guess my other question would have to be: Does this issue even apply to flash memory?

256MB (actually lower after formatting 244MB or so) and now it's at 16.4MB - What's up with that? And
I also noticed the ReadyBoost Cache file or whatever file on it when I set it up, is now gone - what's up
with that?

My old PC only has approx. 380mb ram and therefore can not run vista. Is there any possibility for
running vista somehow using a memory stick to increase the ram to the required 512mb to run vista.

Tom! Please help. I have a SanDisk 4GB Micro Cruzer USB Drive that I have removed U3 from, and also
formatted completely as FAT32. I'm trying to enable readyboost, and while I can do this, and see the
cache file get created on the drive (and thus the drive fills up), but after about 30 seconds... The file
disappears, and the drive is empty again. I've tried formatting it NTFS, FAT, FAT32, all with the same
outcomes. What can I do to fix this?? I've googled this problem 1,000 different ways, and all the
threads I've found where someone asks about this just stop dead in their tracks, almost as if no one has
any ideas.
I've read numerous folks talk about using this particular drive with success, also the 2GB version as well.
So I know it is Readyboost compatitble. Please help!!!! I'm so very frustrated.

Why not putting the programs that are used considered by superfecth as being the ones that are
mostly used in the stick? This way the programs would start faster when compared to HDD reading,
albeit a bit slower than RAM (the difference would be minimal) and free RAM in the process.

Hey, first of all ...........this is a gr8 informative site!!!
I tried using my Transcend 1GB USB Drive for Ready Boost but it says 'This device does not have
required performance characteristics for use in speeding up your system' . I tried formatting it with
NTFS, FAT32, tried increading the allocation size, but no help. Is there any possible solution to this apart
from getting a new drive.
Also how am i supposed to identify if a particular drive will work for ready boost while buying it?

I have a usb 2.0 drive that i just bought that is 2 gigs, when I put it in the usb drive it autoplays and

I've been testing a couple of my USB sticks and I can't figure out what's going on.
First was the PNY Attache 1GB, which gave a read speed of around 5000kb/s, but the write speed was
only around 1000Kb/s, causing it to fail the test.
Next, I tried a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium, and it had a read speed of only 3300Kb/s, yet it's read speed
was around 6500Kb/s. This drive passed.
Then, I transfered a single 700MB file to and from both drives, timing their respective performance. The
Sandisk Cruzer Titanium was about a minute faster on the write, which was expected, considering what
Vista had tested their write speeds to be. What blew my mind was that the Cruzer Titanium also
transfered the file back to the hard drive faster, suggesting it's read speed was also faster. which didn't
coincide with Vista's speed tests.
I'd like to know how Vista measurements differ from my experience, and what would make a slower,
cheaper drive post a faster read time than one costing three times as much.
What I'd like to know is, what is it about the memory in the cheaper PNY stick for it to have suc

This is a very informative site, but this information should be posted on Microsoft.com in an easy to
find location.
There is one very valuable piece of information missing that would probably be valuable to everyone: a
list of devices known to work with ReadyBoost, as well as a list of devices known to NOT work.
Maintaining this list might be tedious, but Microsoft is really in the best position to do this. Even if it
wasn't complete and comprehensive, if it covered the most popular devices it would still go a long way
towards making Vista users happier.
Personally, I've bought three seperate devices that others have claimed to work for them that have
failed on my laptop--including one device that claimed ReadyBoost compatibility right on the package.

Readyboost is a good idea but far from great. I would want to see Windows find ANY available storage
device and use whatever it can to bring whatever improovement it can get. As Tesco says - every little
helps. More and more PCs have multiple hard disks, why not allocate a speed patch area on all disks
found to spread the load? Just like RAID but less strict.

Cache Your Page File to Your... iPod Shuffle?
CRS 21 Mar 2007 8:01 PM #

The only way I've been able to utilize Ready Boost to any signifficant advantage is increasing the
paging file manually, lets say on a 4GB flash drive, to the minimum at 3799MB and the maximum to
3800MB. Afterward, go to the properties of the flash drive and you will be able to set the cache to
upwards of 3500MB. Vista is about four times faster while using the computer. Not too technical but it
works and is simple.

Hi Tom
Can't seem to turn off this ready boost feature, because i'd like to be able to fully use the capacity of my
1gb usb pendrive for datastorage. When i try to put more data on i get error code 0x80070052 and
then i checked the properties page and i noticed that the space left on my pendrive is slightly smaller
then the minimum required memory for readyboost,which i can't seem to change.

Sad to say, I haven't noticed any significant increase (I allocated 100% of 512MB for ReadyBoost)
Question though: does having a external USB device/drive plugged in all the time, prevent Vista Sleep
mode?
I can't quite figure it out yet, my Vista will come back from Sleep mode occasionally if I have my Shuffle

Keep in mind not all USB flash drives give the same performance. Readyboost has minimum
performance requirements that are checked before the drive is allowed to be used. Vendors are
starting to label readyboost compatible drives. High end drives like SanDisk's Cruzer Titanium should
work fine.

I'm running Vista premium w/1gig internal RAM and a 2gig pny optima pro attache (got a good deal
on it $35) that is readyboost compatible.
QUESTION: does anyone know if this flash drive will still be as good for readyboost if I just have it
plugged into my 4 port usb hub, instead of being directly plugged into a usb slot on my laptop? For
some reason my laptop only has 2 usb ports and I want to maximize the # of ports I can use.
It shows up in my computer when I have it plugged in via the 4 port hub, I just didn't know if this was
still a good idea.
Craig Kowalski 24 Mar 2007 3:29 PM #

also, forgot to ask:
this is a 2gb flash drive yet vista is telling me that it recommends only using 1860mb of it for optimal
performance. Will it make any difference if I just manually increase the amount of storage that this
drive will use for readyboost?

Ready boost disappears after rebooting. I was using 2GB PQI 150x SD card in my Dell latitude D420
laptop SD card slot. I was wondering why sometimes the cache file is there, and sometimes it is gone
that I had to rebuild the file.
I was having the problem again, so I just rebooted several times hoping it would come back, but it
didn't. This time the whole drive disappeared. I found out that my 2GB SD card somehow died on me.
I've been using my laptop heavily with the SD card inserted for about 3 weeks now. Now I can't read or
even format the SD card now. Tested on several computers/card readers, but looks completely dead.
I'm wondering if the ready boost caused the problem on my 2GB SD card.
Does the 150x speed written on the SD card has anything to do? I know it is suppose to be faster, but
I'm thinking, does it use higher frequency which might not be safe for ready boost purpose? I also have
a 1GB lexar SD with no speed written on it, and that one also works as ready boost, while one of my

After I have enabled to use Readyboost, say 1790mb, for some reason it doesn't actually enable it. Like I
have seen others using it, there would be a Readyboost file in the drive with a size of that 1790mb.
However, in my case, after I enabled it and check the drive, its like nothing happened. Then I checked
the USB's properties, and the Readyboost setting is back to do not use it.
Can someone please help?
Thanks

I am using a Toshiba Satellite 2400 laptop. The RAM on this machine can only be expanded to 512mb,
which I have done. So will the addition of a "Boost Ready" USB drive make any difference to the
performance of Vista. Vista currently works, but it is extremly slow.
Cheers

It seems to me that if you "permanently" put in a memory card or USB memory stick and told Windows
XP to put the page file on that drive, it would simulate ReadyBoost. You'd lose the stability and the
reasonably guaranteed performance gains, but it would help most people most of the time, less when
they yanked the drive. ;)

Readyboost supports my mp3 player which is a RCA that has an SD slot; the internal memory is
supported but not the SD slot - its not fast enough. This is a nice new implementation into windows
vista and I can suggest it to people as a temporary fix for those who run the minimum 512. I need
another gig of ram myself - I only have 1024. Vista runs nice - the 32 bit version on a 64 bit
processor.........that's crap that they didn't give you the 64 bit version on the DVD except in Ultimate
making you pay more money.
Anyway the reason for my post is to suggest to Matt Ayers if you get a chance to see him again - make
readyboost with 100 mbps network support. Your DSL connection only uses up about 5 - 10 mbps max
on your router. Say you have two or three or four computers all connected via lan to a router. Imagine
being able to map a network drive and using it for ready boost !! Wait......maybe you can fool windows
into thinkin a network drive is a regular drive for ready boost...........I'll go check..........

Hey, just wondering if anyone has any clue as to what could be my problem. I have an Alienware
m9700. I just bought a 4GB Transcend 150x SD card to hopefully speed up my performance in Vista
using the built-in card reader. Well every time I use the card, the computer gets really choppy and CPU
Usage goes though the roof (around 90-100% and doesnt go down). As soon as I remove the SD card,
the computer goes right back to normal. I have tried removing it and plugging it back in several times
with the same results. I even tried plugging in my SD card to an SD to USB adapter and it has the same
issues, so I know it isn't the built-in card reader. Anyone have any idea what I could do? Thanks for any
help provided

Found a way to make a SD card work when Vista 64 bit initially said it was not capable ... some earlier
posters who had problems with their cards or USB sticks might wanna try this
I'm using 1 GB Sandisk SD card in internal card reader
Reformat card from FAT32 to NTFS
retest card using Readyboot... hey presto it works
after doing this you can put data back on card and still use Readyboost- but you need to leave
Readyboost plenty of space to work eg at least 0.5GB
If your USB key or SD card or whatever is heavily fragmented or is FAT32 it most likely wont work

Readyboost doesn't appear to increase performance at all for me at this point.
Trying a SanDisk 4GB usb drive, Vista finds it right away and allows use of the full 4 gigs, but
performance doesn't improve.
I've tried it on 3 systems in my home:
Laptop with Vista Ultimate x64
2 GB ram
120 GB hard drive 7200 rpm
AMD Turion 64 x2 1.8 ghz cpu
Desktop with Vista Ultimate x86

Hey folks,
I recently bought a LaCie 320 GB external hdd. When I formatted it to NTFS file system it asked me if I
would like it to use it for ReadyBoost. I did, because I have only 1 GB of RAM, but it said several times I
couldn't use it because it didn't meet the requirements. Then suddently it worked, but my computer
doesn't indicate more RAM.
The package sais up to 480 Mbit/s transfer speed, but I think this isn't realistic.

Hello, all,
I have a Dell E1505 laptop w/ Vista Home Premium, 1.86G Core 2 Duo processor and 2G RAM. I
installed a Lexar Professional 2G SD card (133x) in my laptop, and it seems to have been accepted by
Vista as Readyboost-capable. The SD card was formatted as NTFS, and Vista asked for 1860M of the 2G
SD card capacity, so I gave it what it asked for.
It's not raising any problems I can see in the event viewer. However, I'm not sure I can see any noticible
effect. However, this is a relatively unstressed pc.
Best wishes,

Today, I found something that I thought to be rather interesting. Recently I discovered that one of my
RAM sticks had gone bad and so I've removed it, I had been using a 2GB Cruzer mini flash drive as a
readyboost drive previous to removing the RAM and so, having removed 1 of my 2 gb of memory, I
decided to test what difference my 2 gb drive made. I put a heavy load on my machine (I began ripping
a DVD in each of my dvd drives, a deep system scan with my anti-virus, opened a music file, a movie
and began compressing one of my backup drives) and watched how my system handled for a few
minutes then ejected the readyboost drive and watched for a difference. I did notice a difference but
the interesting thing that I observed occurred when I tried to re-enable readyboost on the flash drive. I
put the drive back in, while still running a heavy load, and clicked to check for readyboost capabilities,
my machine returned that the drive was not capable of using readyboost (even though it had been
using it for weeks). Rather distraught, I ejected the drive again and found that it still wouldn't run
readyboost. I stopped the programs I was running and tested again, this time the drive passed the
readyboost check. I bring this up because several people have posted that their flash drives are not
capable of using readyboost, I've checked these drives against my cruzer and found that a few of them
are actually more capable than my readyboost (judged mainly by their av. time). When testing for
50 of 53 12/20/2010 8:41 AM
readyboost, bring your system down to its idle processes then test things out, you might be surprised, I
know I was.
Kyle 29 May 2007 7:12 PM #

re: Patchariadog
I don't think that you'll be able to. Readyboost doesn't work like RAM, although that would be really
cool if it did. What readyboost does is provide disk space to page to that reads and writes more quickly
than your hard drive.
Basically, when your computer runs out of memory (not storage mind you) it writes pages of unused
instructions to the hard drive in order to free up memory. The hard drive is really bad at reading and
writing tiny amounts of non sequential data. However, flash drives are great at this and do so many
times faster than the hard drive. This is what readyboost does for you. It enables you to read and write
memory pages more quickly than your hard drive. Effectively speeding up your system, but,
unfortunately, not actually increasing the capabilities of your system.

Everybody talks about vista, but a lot of us don't get it. This tip was already well-known before but
nothing at least... so why don't we used flash memory(card or usbkey) to boost the system before using
slot memory...i think ram memory is outdate(Ram more expensive than usb key)...with the new cpu

From Matt Ayers:

Thanks, again, for your interest, questions and ideas."

Q: What perf do you need on your device?

Q: Why can't I use more than 4GB of flash?

Q: What's the smallest ReadyBoost cache that I can use

Q: Ok... 256M-4GB is a pretty big range... any recommendations?

Q: What happens when you remove the drive?

Q: Isn't user data on a removable device a security risk?

Q: Won't this wear out the drive?

Q: Can use use multiple devices for EMDs?

Q: Why just one device?

Q: Do you support SD/CF/memory stick/MMC/etc.?

Q: Why don't you support SD on my USB2.0 external card reader?

Q: How much of a speed increase are we talking about?
