systemhost said:Well, the thing is, my raptor has some very nice read/write speeds, 50-60MB/s+ as do my 500's and 750. My 2gb flash has write speeds of 2-3MB/s and read speeds of about 17MB/s. Given I have 5 drives in my computer, I could easily set up small amounts of paging on each one and get a combined theoretical throughput of a say 250MB/s which is more than 4X usb 2.0's maximum possible throughput.
Sooo, even if you do get a faster usb drive than mine... $$$... I still don't see the point of using this for reasons of speeding up your computer. Another thing, what happens if you take the thumbdrive out by accident? There goes all those system files, program files, etc that windows had stored on it, can you say bsod? Plus, I'm sure this is a very quick way to kill your flashdrive as they can only stand so many read/writes.

It seems like sometimes, it gets things moving quicker but at other times, it slows things down like having to mouse to jerk and not be as responsive. I initially was just curious about it but now, I wouldn't recooment anybody to go out of its way to get it. It has a few bugs too, like being completely off coming out of sleep and I have to reboot the whole system to be able to reenable it or it just freeze if I try to reenable it without restarting. It should have been a Beta add-on . Not ready for prime time in my opinion.
