Use Pen Drive As RAM

Hi Friends!

As promised, this post is dedicated to learn how to use pen drive as RAM. We will learn to do that in just 2 steps... ya you heard me, just 2 steps!

So let's get started (Win XP users will have to use third party software like ebooster)

Step 1: When you insert your USB 2.0, right click on USB -> Properties.



Step 2: Click on ReadyBoost tab.




Best Practice: Use Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost to avoid accidental deletion of data from RAM portion of your pen drive.

Click Apply -> OK.

Two points are noteworthy:

  • Even if you accidentally remove your pen drive, the data is there on the hard disk( but reading from hard disk will deteriorate performance!)
  •  All the data written in RAM portion of your pen drive is encrypted using AES 128 standard. So there is no issues as cached data is encrypted
And, we are done... just 2 steps.

Happy computing!
