Windows Vista's ReadyBoost technology has given the flash memory industry a much needed boost (pun intended!). It has generated interest in a new series of flash memory drives that focus more on random read and write performance, than the traditional sequential read/write performance. Today, we take a look at the new Kingston DataTraveler ReadyFlash drives. Designed to exceed ReadyBoost's requirements, these drives pack a surprisingly fast sequential write performance. That makes them suitable for both ReadyBoost as well as fast data writes.

These days flash drives are pretty mainstream. One flash drive can easily be used thousands of times and they are more convenient than other portable storage media like DVDs. Almost every PC out there, unless it's one from the Stone Age, will be able to send data to your USB memory stick and to do that you don't need to install any software at all. USB sticks are very easy to use, very portable, most models are pretty fast and they offer lots of storage room. Today I'm taking a closer look at the Kingston DataTraveler ReadyFlash. This is a fairly new USB 2.0 drive which is optimized to take full advantage of Windows Vista's new ReadyBoost feature.

So, what is ReadyBoost you ask? It acts as an extension of Vista's SuperFetch feature, which loads frequently used files and programs into the system memory so that they load significantly faster than if they loaded directly from the hard drive. As a result Vista is far better at utilising large memory configurations in excess of 2GB, and power users will certainly reap the benefits.
