ReadyBoost does know boundaries!
So, I was talking with someone recently and noticed they had an SD card sticking in the SD slot on these Lenovo Laptops. Specifically noticing that I asked him about it to which he replied, that he leveraged that to improve performance by utilizing ReadyBoost! I thought to myself “Wow, that’s a great idea, since it’s just a slot taking up space and often not being used! Why not do this myself!” So I started offloading my data from this device and then while waiting for it to finish I impatiently went and checked my details for kicking off ReadyBoost and lo and behold, I get this image! For those of you who know me, you know that I run my Lenovo T61p with Win7 and 2008R2Ent from BootfromVHD images which reside on an SSD.
Apparently, My SSD is so fast (even though it’s running from a VHD) that I cannot gain value from ReadyBoost!
Frankly, that’s pretty damn cool from where I’m standing! :)
