Isn't ready boost is to help caching all those tiny files which always located randomly in our hard disk.

flash disk random seek less than 1ms compare to mechanical hard disk around 8-12 ms.

I am using 2GB Rams, and my 2GB pendrive permanently stuck at the back of my PC usb port as permanent dedicated readyboost device. To be honest, I can't detect any significant improvement but frequent aps load a bit faster.

I believe ready boost is implemented to overcome mechanical hdd slow random seek, not to replace hdd transfer speed (which much faster compare to flash drive)

**********

Threat starter, how long the hdd led keep blinking. I use ori ultimate 32bit, and it happen to me too everytime i fresh boot my pc, until all my 2gigs ram fully cached. Around 1-2 minutes kot...doesn't actually measure it. But you can view it at task manager.
