>From what I have read of the 'readyBoost' software and such is that it caches
read requests......the 'Vista' ready part I believe is a 'feature' in Vista
which tells these devices what files are frequently used and gives them
priority.

Not sure if the read/seek time is lower on a [cached] read from a USB device....

Could this allow more write/faster writes?
