In this case, move the slider under Space to reserve for system speed to the right place — in this example: MB. You can also set this value by using the arrow next to the selection box.
Click on OK. The changes are immediately reflected on the external media. In the drive view for the storage medium you see the reserved space now as file entry called: ReadyBoost. Deactivating ReadyBoost 1. Then, you click on the ReadyBoost drive in the left side tree, so that in the right pane the file entry ReadyBoost. Click the file ReadyBoost. In the dialog box Properties click on the tab ReadyBoost. Select the option Do not use this device. The reserved space is immediately freed. Need more help?
ReadyBoost makes the system run faster, but it usually depends on the setup. This disk caching feature is beneficial if your system runs a slow hard drive or has a small amount of RAM. Also, if you are running Windows 10 on fairly standard hardware, then ReadyBoost will offer a nice performance enhancement. Just to clarify what we touched on above, ReadyBoost does not speed up RAM or process, but it enhances hard drive access times for minor random reads.
It is also important to keep in mind that ReadyBoost is just a helper tool for SuperFetch. Its impact is most noticeable when starting huge disk-intensive applications, such as Microsoft Outlook and Adobe Photoshop, among others. The way it works is that SuperFetch constantly monitors system data for these programs and preloads them into the cache to be loaded faster into RAM. The SuperFetch technology works perfectly while using the computer's hard disk for the cache, but as you know, hard disks rely on physically moving parts.
This often limits the speed at which data is transmitted between RAM and the cache. This is the point where ReadyBoost comes into play, where it stores application data and files as cache in removable devices.
But since the USB3 port is much faster, we would recommend that you use it. You can also use a memory card for laptop computers. For it to work, you need to use a memory card or USB stick with at least 1gigabyte of free space depending on your RAM. Follow this rule of thumb: If your PC uses 1 gigabyte of built-in RAM, then your flash drive should have about 2 - 4 gigabytes of free space.
The good thing is that you might not need to do any test since Windows 10 usually checks the performance of removable hardware automatically. If you are running a bit version of Windows 10, and on FAT32 file system disks, you can only use up to 4 gigabytes of storage space for ReadyBoost, even if the disk itself is larger.
You can also use the older FAT16 file system, only that you can use up to 2 gigabytes cache size. For bit Windows, you can create up to 32 gigabytes of the cache and can be created on an NTFS-formatted removable device.

Physical RAM will be faster than a flash-based memory cache any day of the week. But if you don't want to get your hands dirty, or if you've already maxed out the memory capacity of your motherboard, ReadyBoost is a good thing to try. But what if you don't have a Vista or newer system? Are you out of luck as far ReadyBoost goes? Good news, there is at least one third party program that is designed for Windows XP users that mirrors the offerings of Windows ReadyBoost.
This program is called eBoostr. It works very much like ReadyBoost, and even allows you to use multiple flash devices. Fortunately, this program comes with a free trial so you can take it for a test drive before you buy. Have you used ReadyBoost or eBoostr?

Posted by: David 29 Jul I note there is a comment about certain drives not being suitable. Mine are Memorex Travel drives, which I bought a few months ago on a special offer. Posted by: Andrew 29 Jul I'm a bit jet lagged from a recent trip to the UK, so I don't know whether I read this over there, or here. Windows cranks up in the background. At some point I assume you make a handover if needed.
Ready Boost seems silly to me in that,it is compensating for Windows bloat,and I don't want my Flash Drive sticking out to get knocked off in the airport. Windows needs this dual boot capability and to go on a diet. Posted by: Anonymous 02 Jun
