When a removable memory device (512 MB or more) supporting Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) is connected to a computer with Windows Vista installed, the Windows ReadyBoost function enables any specified amount of this external memory to be added as the system cache.
This means even without expansion of memory of the computer, the use of USB flash drive can stabilize system performance and improve program switching of active applications.
Micro Vault USM-LX supports Windows ReadyBoost.
