Well, per Wikipedia: The minimum cache size is 250 MB. In Vista or with FAT32 formatting of the drive, the maximum is 4 GB. In Windows 7 with NTFS formatting, the maximum cache size is 32 GB per device. Windows Vista allows only one device to be used, while Windows 7 allows multiple caches, one per device, up to a total of 256 GB.[3] Wonder how much it could help.

Seriously doubt you'd need that much "extra" RAM though :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Access Pro Sent: 30 July 2013 18:14 To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] USB 3 Thanks for the responses. The 64 stick is probably the way to go. SO, will I be able to use it in the future for Ready Boost???

Used it to test that my pci0e card was working properly, then gave I to my dad for his birthday :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Access Pro Sent: 29 July 2013 18:21 To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] USB 3 I am going to add one or more external hard drives to one of my machines. I wanted to use the fastest tech possible. I added a "USB 3" card to this machine. Purchased from Amazon: AnkerR Uspeed USB 3.0 PCI-E Express Card with 4 USB 3.0 Ports and 5V 4-Pin Power Connector for Desktops [VL805 Chipset] by Anker It installed and works but with a message saying that it is only running usb 2. I am still researching external drives and not ready to buy yet. Is there any way to easily test the sped of my new card w/o a drive to plug into it?
