SuperFetch, ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive: some new feature names for you

  • [アーティクル]

 Although feature names aren't the most exciting thing to talk about, I do like to get them right if I can (although I'm still getting my mind around the 2007 Microsoft Office System). 

Anyhow, we've just finalised the names of some Vista features - the three that form part of the performance-enhancing aspects. I've mentioned SuperFetch before and you may have come across features codenamed EMD and Piton.

Well they now have official names as follows:

Windows SuperFetch™ is a memory management innovation in Windows Vista that helps make your PC consistently responsive by tracking what applications are used most on a given machine and intelligently preloading these applications into memory.

Or in other words, your apps load faster.

 

Windows ReadyBoost™ (formerly code-named “EMD”) makes PCs running genuine Windows Vista more responsive by using flash memory on a USB drive, SD Card, Compact Flash, or other memory form factor to boost system performance.  

Or in other words, if you plug in a USB memory stick your machine may run faster.

 

Windows ReadyDrive™ (formerly code-named “Piton”) enables Windows Vista PCs equipped with a hybrid hard drive to boot up faster, resume from hibernate in less time, and preserve battery power. Hybrid hard drives are a new type of hard disk, which integrate non-volatile flash memory with a traditional hard drive.

Or in other words, your machine may start up almost instantly.

 

So now you can impress friends and family at parties with phrases like "yeah, I'm getting a hybrid hard drive to make sure I can take advantage of Windows ReadyDrive - you know, the feature that was codenamed Piton". Oh yes.

    Cool, but when will the hybrid drives become available and how much higher price tag will be there on them? ;)

    Hope superfetch can be turned off

    Sounds like a good idea to me. I do just use the same apps over and over, so if Windows sticks them into memory ready to go...

    Thanks for the comments. Some thoughts:
    - Will hybrid-drive machines have a higher price tag? I don't know, but I'm sure OEMs will be doing some deals. I know that I want this feature no matter what, and I think quite a few people will probably agree (and others won't of course, but that's the nice thing about choice).
    - Can superfetch be turned off? Good question, I'll find out. I would suspect yes.
    - Preloading apps concern: Not sure I quite get it, but SuperFetch isn't going to compromise your security, it's a pretty smart feature imho

    SuperFetch does not make your applications load faster,  it just loads them sooner.

    I'm confused.  Most thumb drives are substantially slower than modern hard drives, which are slower than main memory.  How is ReadyBoost going make systems faster again?

    All in all - those technologies are really great since disk drives are still dog slow compared to RAM. I really hope that the day I put 4GB of memory in my PC, all everyday software I need will be always ready to launch from it. ;)

    Sounds like something I could get used to as well :-)

    This all sounds too confusing.  I think I'll just stick with SLED 10 instead of Vista.

    I am curious about the possibility of using one normal hard drive (say, installed as Drive C:) and  then having one SSD(Solid-State Disk) with IDE interface and intall it as Drive D. Then, would I obtain the feature of ReadyDrive or I could have ReadyBoost only ? Any performance difference between ReadyDrive and ReadyBoost ?
