Windows & provides a unique tools called as Ready boost which is used to enhance system performance by using USB pen drives for caching frequently required files on it. This works because of the varying Access times of storage devices.
Flash memory is more quicker to access than mechanical hard drives. All you have to do is plugin a USB pendrive into your computer and right click on the drive icon and enable Ready boost feature. The next time Windows requires a file which on hard disk it may be found quickly on ready boost cache before accessing it on hard disk.This will enhance system response and decrease time for starting up applications.
NAND flash memory is used in the USB storage devices known as USB flash drives, as well as most memory card formats and solid-state drives available today. Limitation is that flash memory has a finite number of program-erase cycles (typically written as P/E cycles). Most commercially available flash products are guaranteed to withstand around 100,000 P/E cycles, before the wear begins to deteriorate the stored data. So Ready boost should be used only if it is very essential.
