By Good MooD | April 5, 2007
ReadyBoost is one of vista feature for speed up starting system if you are stuck with 1GB RAM. You’ll need to plug in a 2GB or larger flash drive for optimal results, but you lose a precious USB port as well. Now, what if you have an extra USB header available inside your rig. Taiwanese manufacturer InnoDisk has come up with an internal ReadyBoost drive that connects to your mainboard’s USB pin .Drive operates at 3MB/s for 512KB random read/write and 5MB/s for 4KB. These numbers meet the requirement out by Microsoft - 2.5MB/s for 4k random read and 1.75MB/s for 512k write. InnoDisk did its own testing, reporting an overall performance improvement ranging from 18 to 26%. At $120 HKD or $15US
