All flash drives can store data  \tsafely and conveniently. Flash drives are useful for so many things &#8211;  \tbacking up files, taking files with you when you travel, sharing files with  \ta friend, storing photos, music, emails, and more.<\/p>\n<p>But some flash drives have an additional feature that many people aren&#8217;t  \taware of &#8211; and that feature is called &#8220;ReadyBoost&#8221;. In fact, most flash  \tdrives, especially the cheaper don&#8217;t have this feature, but some do and  \tReadyBoost flash drives are good for more than just storing files. They may  \tcost a few dollars more, but the benefits they provide are well worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know by simply inserting a ReadyBoost USB Flash Drive in a USB port  \t&#8211; or USB hub on your computer, you can instantly add more memory &#8211; and by  \tnow you know how important having enough memory is.

And since so many of you now have  \tWindows 7 64bit computers, you can really use the extra oomph! that a  \tReadyBoost Ready USB flash drive can add.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how it works. Let&#8217;s say you have a 4GB ReadyBoost Ready USB flash  \tdrive and you have let&#8217;s say 1.8GB of files you&#8217;ve saved on it. That leaves  \tyou with about 2 GB of free space on that drive. Did you know if you plug  \tthat drive in &#8211; you can add about 2GB MORE memory to your computer? You can  \tand here&#8217;s how (we&#8217;re sorry XP users, ReadyBoost does not work on XP &#8211; only  \ton Vista and Windows 7):<\/p>\n<p>Plug in a ReadyBoost-ready USB flash drive and a the following menu should  \tappear (if you have autorun enabled):<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"> <span style=\"font-family: Arial, 'Sans Serif'; color: #000000;\"> <span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2011\/readyboost7.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"InfoAve by Cloudeight\" width=\"366\" height=\"484\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For users of Windows Vista and Windows 7 and newer Not all flash drives are created equal.
