This model of ADATA flashdrive does support Readyboost in Windows 7. Windows 7 supports Windows ReadyBoost. This feature uses external USB flash drives as a hard disk cache to improve disk read performance. Supported external storage types include USB thumb drives, SD cards, and CF cards. Since ReadyBoost will not provide a performance gain when the primary disk is an SSD, Windows 7 disables ReadyBoost when reading from an SSD drive. External storage must meet the following requirements: Capacity of at least 256 MB, with at least 64 kilobytes (KB) of free space.The 4-GB limit of Windows Vista has been removed. At least a 2.5 MB/sec throughput for 4-KB random reads At least a 1.75 MB/sec throughput for 1-MB random writes The most effective way to determine whether a specific flash drive meets ReadyBoost requirements is to test it. Windows Vista and Windows 7 automatically test removable storage when attached. If a storage device fails the test, Windows will automatically retest the storage on a regular basis.

It depends on how much space is on the flash drive you use,I bought one at Xmas time as a gift,they loved it!! It's a great product!

I'm in the very same situation... got my SSD Sandisk 256GB but would prefer to have the ADATA 128GB if it would be faster. You can reach me at laborges at hot mail . Thanks!

It works just as well in my desktop ... It have plugged it to my old hard disk connector and i have left it to hang at the bottom of my case for months now. No issues, just speed ... Very fast boot up and applications load times. It is a great upgrade.

Hi! It is shown with proud on outer box "Super Fast USB 3.0. Exactly what I needed for my modern i5 laptop (it's name Toshiba too). Actually Toshiba quite trustful company make good devices. Maybe this defective one in a million? I will try to recover my priceless pictures and HD videos from my trips from Europe. And hundreds and hundreds of songs and my pictures. My co worker computer guy tried to help me, but could not do anything - it does NOT work...

This is Amazon, buddy. If you want info that detailed, google a site that reviews flash drives. I will say that this drive is insanely fast transfering large video files (175mb to several GB's) compared to every other drive I've tried, including: HP v125 USB Flash Drive P-FD4GBHP125-AZ SanDisk Cruzer USB Flash Drive SDCZ36-004G Kingston Digital USB 2.0 Hi-speed Datatraveler Flash Drive DT101G2/4GBZ All of these drives would write at a sustained 3.2 MB/s which was painfully slow and this Patriot drive does 17.5 MB/s. It's over 5x faster.

I don't think it would help you much. It works by copying the most used programs to itself to speed up launching those programs. Things like your web browser, email client, word files, etc. If you have those on an SSD, they are already faster. Think of this drive as an extra 32gb of ram, to preload programs to.

Hey, thanks for the tip! I never heard of ReadyBoost. I actually bought the Transcend 4GB SDHC card to move my swap file on it (I have 2GB of RAM in my netbook), since they say moving your swap file on a different drive is more efficient.I've changed to the ReadyBoost configuration to see if it runs any better.

this is just a flash drive, even though a very large one. I would think your current computer needs a more capacity, like a 1 TB external drive...

Hi I have bought four of these old office machines. typically they were XP systems. Its pretty easy and available to get an old XP complete restore disc. The machines will run Windows 7 if you upgrade the flash memory to at lease 2GB. 4GB is the machine maximum and is what i Recommend. It will cost about $40.00 for this DDR2 flash memory upgrade. A windows 7 upgrade disc will not help you. What you will need is a windows 7 program disc. Good Luck.

Dear Lance, I found a small memory (Kingston) built directly into the motherboard (like a micro SSD). The computer has only one hard drive at 7200 rpm. The operating system (Windows 8) is installed on small memory (micro SSD) and the new software I install, they were on the hard drive. Alvaro Acevedo

The main thing is this: when I bought my 3000 dollar laptop from HP, it came with 128gb msata card for drive c. I wanted to ugrade to 256 from bullet. I was surprised like many are that their laptop was given a sataII msata and I got 225 read and 175 write. After using the Bullet case I cloned my c drive and my read speed went up to 550 read and 420 write. Now because of the nature of the beast the USB3 port only gives you sataII like speeds. which is still faster than a spinning hard drive. I use ATTO Disk Benchmark Speed test software. It is a free download, google it.

Works but my computer used 3-4 cd's. I recommend getting a 64GB Flash drive. Longer lasting, less of a headache and it will save you more time. It's worth it. Amazon has good deals. PNY, Kingston or San Disk work well for me. Right now Amazon has them for a great deal that you can't get in local stores.

I personally bought it specifically for usb 3.0 myself, though I really can't see much of a boost, even on hardcore downloads (GB in size). Then again, at some point it probably comes down to SATA write speed and buffer anyway. I did have some problems with powering it off the usb though, so make sure you have a solid motherboard(ports on back) and case (the ports on the front). If you start seeing it lose connection and have to replug it in, stop using that port immediately, because it ended up causing my device to fail. Which brings me to my next point, the warranty service was EXCELLENT. great customer support with amped.

If this is your only storage device no. This drive is to small as a stand alone. Best if you put your operating system on it and use a normal hard drive as your main storage. You can use the extra on the ssd as virtual memory and this can speed up a system greatly.

Would what work? There is no question that I can decipher. I'm clueless on "WCAT". For what it may be worth to you, my application of the drive is pretty straight forward. I needed a big boot drive, and this one seemed adequate. It is a bit slow when rousing the computer, but thereafter it performs as expected - fast, quiet, and lots of space for additional stuff. Assuming your system can access the drive's full capacity, it should meet any application you might have. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Windows 7 Pro Found a driver from its own internal files it was a generic driver for the 340t chip. Works fine as high as 56k, which is the fastest rate I have tried so far.
