    I remember reading about ReadyBoost and tried with a USB 2 reader and
    a 4GB MicroSD card I had laying around. I noticed a bit of a boost,
    but it interfered with reading cards with the reader - I think the reader doesn't like having more than one card drawing current.

    Meh don't bother wasting time with that, Readyboost was yet another convoluted solution to a problem nobody really cared to have solved.

    I remember using Readyboost... for a bit. it did make booting up quicker. Or something. Now with SSDs and NVMe, there's no point.

    its enabled by default with ssd/nvme, old harddisk could use another ssd to boot faster, how it did is beyoung me :)

    I'm running on SATA drives in a RAID, and saw a bit of a difference with
    ReadyBoost enabled. I used a 8 GB USB 3.0 stick in my PCI-X USB card,
    and it felt zippier. I'm close to ditching RAID and have an SSD in my
    system already, just waiting to pull the trigger and switch.
