Binding: ElectronicsEAN: 0740617111705 Item Dimensions: Model: DTR/2GB Warranty: 5 years warranty Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: The Kingston DataTraveler ReadyFlash is a USB flash drive with ReadyBoost that is designed to enhance your Windows Vista system. Before Windows Vista, background tasks such as scanning and automatic backups ran at times they would create the least disturbance for you, according to the system's settings. Now with Windows Vista, Windows SuperFetch technology learns what applications you use most and prepares them by preloading them to memory. Windows ReadyBoost, which is used in conjunction with SuperFetch, allows your system to use a memory source in addition to DRAM for processing data and applications. This feature is ideal for systems with limited memory expansion capabilities. For instance, if your notebook has a maximum memory capacity of 1 GB installed, Windows ReadyBoost allows the use of a flash memory device, such as the DataTraveler ReadyFlash (DTR), as a more responsive storage medium for a ReadyBoost cache. The DataTraveler ReadyFlash is specially designed to meet the performance requirements and capacity threshold for ReadyBoost. This device comes with a 2 GB capacity, offers easy-to-follow installation instructions, and plugs into a USB 2.0 port. The DataTraveler ReadyFlash allows you to take full advantage of what Windows Vista has to offer, while making storage, transport, and transfer of data such as work, music, or photos fast and easy. Backed by a 5-year warranty and Kingston's technical support, the DataTraveler ReadyFlash is a safe, reliable solution for taking important files with you wherever you go. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - USB 2.0 for ReadybosstI bought this USB stick (along with a PCI card to support USB 2.0) entirely for ReadyBoost in Vista. My Dell 8200 was only running on 1Gb of RAM and RIMM memory is cost prohibitive to increase so it would appear that ReadyBoost was the answer. For that purpose, this USB stick fit well and has performed nicely in increasing load times for well used apps (Outlook 2007 takes about 4 seconds from clicking on the icon to being completely up and running). Rating:  - Performs as promisedI used to use a CD, ripping and burning with Sonic RecordNow!, to backup and transport data. A USB flash drive like this one is much more convenient. You just plug it in and read and write with it, just like any other drive. My home PC is a Dell, with their infamous recessed USB ports, placed close together. A slim device like this fits one of these ports easily and does not block the adjacent one. You may find it more convenient to use an extension lead. If so, an A to A, male/female extension ...

It's easy to forget that 2GB of portable storage is a lot of storage. (i.e. given the larger sized offerings on Amazon) I don't use this flash drive with Windows VISTA's Ready Boost feature,but I know it works.... because when I inserted it into my PC, VISTA gave me the choice of doing so. When taken out of the package, it appears exactly as shown in the ... Read More Rating: - Works like a charm, and does as advertised for Vista to boot!Well, it took me a while to get my Kingston DataTraveller 2 Gb Flash Drive, but it worked flawlessly. I plugged it in and Vista immediately found it, and activated it for me. When I decided to try ReadyBoost with it, it fired right up, and smoothed out my machine quite a bit. I only have one GB of RAM on my system and Vista would often go into fits of paging my programs to the hard drive to make room as I flipped back and forth between them. Now, it will occasionally slow down, but far more rarely. ... Read More |
