>tfw fell for a 512 MB RAM with 2 GB flash drive as ReadyBoost meme
>>109427468In 2017 I bought a motherboard with intel optane memory thinking since it said memory it must mean they bundled in ram. Then after overspending on the mobo with this I had to buy ram when it didn't post. I'm using that 32 gig intel optane stick as swap space today which is all it's really good for.
>>109427502I can imagine buying a product without even understanding what it does, like literally are you even alive ? Or is it just the fact of buying that fulfils you ?
>>109427512It said memory and 32gb is a reasonable size of ram which is called memory. If you ask most people today they wont know what the hell optane was for and using it as regular swap space isn't even the intended purpose of it.
>>109427512>buying shit you dont understand exactly what I'd expect from a retarded frogposter
>>109427468I have never seen a drive that supports readyboost
>>109427553There's still that subset of people who cream over that unscalable tech
>>109427468It did work better if you weren't using pagefile on your standard HDD. However, if you were using USB 1.1 and 2.0 it was dog shit performance and not really worth it.
>>109429620>HDDWasn't it primarily designed as upgrade option for ultra-low-end eMMC OS drive netbooks?
>>109427829The only cool thing about it is using it as swap/paging since it degrades in like 30 years intead of 2-5 and is like 50 times faster than a normal nvme for that usage.
>>109427468how's puppy linux?
>>109429620>>109430003Readyboost came with vista it predates any of that.
tfw op is a faggot
>>109427468>ReadyBoostDid this shit ever work very well? Most times I've tried it, it told me the flash drive wasn't good enough. The one time I had a really fast flash drive and a really slow hard disk and it actually let me use ReadyBoost, it didn't seem to help performance by very much.
>>109432972It's a filesystem read cache designed for small files, I guess it helps if you launch programs often while having little ram.
>>109432972Also wikipedia says it requires 1ms access time and some MB/s of sustained random read/writes. A lot of flash drives are just shit even modern ones.
>>109433280>>109433313But how much does it help in real world use cases that aren't benchmarks or contrived pathological cases?
if anon would pci adapt pci-e nvme adapter how fast is anon swapdisk
