Microsoft certification: Readyboost accelerates Windows 7 system

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 built-in card reader. The 4k random read speed is greater than 3.5M/s and the 512k random write speed. More than 2.5M/s. At present, most of the 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 interface of the computer, we can see the Windows 7 Explorer pop-up window, we select the "Accelerate my system" option, then the system will automatically Open the Readyboost Features tab in the U disk properties panel. If you have disabled the autoplay option on your Windows 7 system, you can also right click on the U disk icon and select the <;Properties" option.

There are three options in the Readyboost settings panel. Compared to Windows Vista, this device is dedicated to ReadyBoost. This function can automatically use all the remaining space in the USB flash drive for Readyboost. The three options can be sized by us. Of course, if you are too "small", set too small space for Readyboost, the effect of system acceleration is not obvious.

Let's try to hand over the entire U disk space to Readyboost. After a short memory cache check, the settings are completed. Go back to the Explorer's "Computer" node and we can see that the storage status of the USB flash drive is "red" by the red.

Cache check when starting Readyboost

Maybe you are worried about whether the data stored in the USB flash drive will be affected? Open the USB stick and we can rest assured. In addition to the addition of a Readyboost icon, the files we originally stored are not damaged at all, so you don't have to worry about it.

Going back to the Readyboost settings panel, let's take a look at the option "Use this device". When this option is selected, we can use the adjustment bar below to select the size of the U disk shared to the Readyboost function.

Using the Readyboost feature is as simple as that. Is it unexpected? Perhaps everyone will ask, how should I most reasonably set the U disk space occupied by Readyboost? Qizi recommends that you set it according to your own memory size. Generally, it is equipped with at least 1:1 flash memory with a memory capacity of up to 2.5:1.

Of course, what you need to understand is that it does not mean that the Readyboost function is enabled, your system can be upgraded several times, but when the memory space is under pressure and the hard disk is frequently read and written, the system The response will be faster —— and these are enough to make your computer experience smoother, especially for friends with insufficient memory!
