Samsung to release 4GB flash drive for Vista

Business IT - Technology

Korean electronics giant Samsung is gearing up to release a 4GB flash drive specifically designed to boost the performance of PCs running Windows Vista, due to be released early next year.

The resource hungry Vista is said to be a big consumer of memory and the Samsung flash drive will be used to launch applications by caching applications held on hard drive using a feature of Vista called ReadyBoost, which moves regularly used applications and data to flash memory.

While hard drive caching using RAM takes place as matter of course when running applications on Windows and other operating systems, the difference with the Samsung flash drive, which is due for release in the fourth quarter, is that it will not losed the cached data when the computer is turned off.

According to Samsung, typical Vista users will see significant performance increases when using the secondary flash drive.
