Readyboost capable SD slot?

[Kakyou]

Having trouble getting readyboost to work on my Shift.
Have tried several usb sticks that I know are Readyboost capable and do go from the USB port.
What I really want to get working is a Sandisk Ducatti 4GB SDHC card.
Alas, no go with this card either. I can"t get the Readyboost options to appear no matter what I do.

has anyone gotten Readyboost working?

I can't get readyboost to work, even with USB drives which I know are compatible.
Readyboost is not affered as an option, perhaps this is something else that HTC have deliberately removed.

By default the readyboost service has been turned off on the Shift. All you need to do is go and turn it on in the Windows Management Console. Full instructions here:

interesting followup... i think it is disabled by default because it may crreate an issue with the SDIO wifi card... will report more later...

Yup this works.

" 1. Click on the Start button.

2. In the search field on the Start button type services.msc and press the enter key.

3. When User Access Control asks if you would like to continue, do so or provide administrative account credentials to do so.

4. Scroll down to and double-click on the ReadyBoost service.

1. Change the Startup Type drop down menu to to Automatic.

2. Then press the Start button to start the service.

3. Press the OK button.

5. Now close the Services console.

The ReadyBoost service should now be started and if you reinsert the flash drive it will prompt you to use the drive for ReadyBoost."


Thanks cspelsor.

That did the trick! Thanks.

Will try it out and see if my Shift blows up.

memory test on the performance index went from 4.2 to 4.5

Interesting. My memory test on the performance index is 4.5 without using readyboost.
With a 1Gb SD card allocated to readyboost, the memory score stayed the same, but the Graphics performance for Windows Aero went from 3.1 to 3.8.

I'm finding that when you sleep vista and bring it back it don't see the sd card again until it reboots, no much use for readyboost!
Anyone else confirm this. Ive tried a few SD's of different sizes

[pusler]

mine works fine, atm I'm using a kingston 2GB and it sees the SD card both from sleep and hibernation or turned off

PS: its configured for readyboost

Hi,

I was also testing Readyboost, and it works fine with my 4gb SDHC card.
One serious "side-effect" though: I cannot see battery and network status anymore on the taskbar !! It is also greyed out in the Properties page so it is not possible to enable it.
Any idea, anyone ?

I have install a 16GB SDHC inside Shift and it works great. I am using 4GB for ready boost and i can see a huge difference in speed. By the way i haven't update to SP1 yet, so after update to SP1, readyboost will work even better!

I do have one problem, which is when i put the device to sleep or hibernate, after resume, my device can not detect the SD card. I have a transcend 16GB SDHC, and ideas people?

How did you get 18 hours of vista use?

[Atley]

Interesting. but the Graphics performance for Windows Aero went from 3.1 to 3.8.

3.8??? how did you get your shift to a graphic's performance of 3.8?

i can't get readyboost to work with a 1gb usb stick and not with a 8gb sdhccard

but they do work on my laptop as readyboost

i enabled readyboost on the shift

but when i try to use it it says it's too slow

[Ommog]

Same result with and without readyboost.

Guess it depends on my SSD.
