Re: Winxdows ReadyBoost
Yeah it's also largely dependent on the USB drive's read and write speeds, if they're slower than your HDD it doesn't help. Hence Microsoft built-in to Windows a function to speedtest every USB stick you connect before allowing it to be used for ReadyBoost, but even then the standards were fairly low, only 2.5MB/sec.
Although high-end modern USB drives can reach hundreds of megabytes per second, they cost several times more than an equally sized and faster SSD anyway.
