One of the critical selling features of the OCZ VBoost drive is that it is certified for use with Vista ReadyBoost, an innovation that lets you boost the performance of your Windows Vista-based computer by using the flash memory within the drive as a supplement to your on-board RAM. It's not quite as effective as truly having an extra four gigs of RAM, but it's a lot better than nothing. By providing a supplementary memory cache, the drive rewards you with faster retrieval and storage of files.

Microsoft promised the world with their latest Operating System: Windows Vista. One of the few features in Vista which wasn't scrapped to make the release deadline was Windows ReadyBoost. While dependent on a suitable flash drive to provide a faster cache, Windows ReadyBoost claimed to significantly improve system responsiveness. OCZ understood the need for high-speed flash memory, and offers the VBoost USB Flash Drive for Windows Vista. This article will test and review the hardware, but more importantly it will answer why you may not need to buy into the Microsoft marketing spin.

Since the launch of Windows Vista quite a few memory makers have released special "ReadyBoost ready" USB drives. This basically means that these drives are fast enough to take advantage of the new ReadyBoost feature in Vista. A few weeks ago OCZ released their first ReadyBoost drive, the OCZ VBoost. The VBoost flash drive from OCZ is available in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB capacities. In this review I'm taking a closer look at the 1GB OCZ VBoost.
