Looking at the Read, Write, and Total columns in the Disk Activity panel, you can see that the ReadyBoost.sfcache file is indicating that ReadyBoost is writing and reading a fairly sizable amount of data to and from its cache. Figure A Resource Monitor provides a good view of ReadyBoost in action. When you load an application that performs a lot of disk activity, your Resource Monitor window will look similar to the one shown in Figure A. Each place where that particular process occurs will be highlighted in orange. When you select a process, all other processes are filtered out so that it is easy to see where and how the selected process is coming into play.
Now, select System check box in the Processes With Disk Activity panel to enable the Filtering feature, which will allow you to highlight certain processes or services. In the Resource Monitor user interface, select the Disk tab. To get started with Resource Monitor, press +R, type Resmon.exe in the Open text box, and press. The first way you can investigate ReadyBoost's performance is with Resource Monitor. SEE: How to use Windows 10's Resource Monitor to track memory usage Using Resource Monitor
Since it really highlights a use case for ReadyBoost, I'll use that system for this article. This is the system on which I have been experimenting with ReadyBoost. I recently performed a clean install of 64-bit Windows 10 Pro on an older ASUS F3 with an AMD Turion 64 X2, 80GB hard disk, and 1GB of RAM. As I ended my examination, I mentioned that it's important to realize that the performance gain provided by using ReadyBoost is subjective and will depend on what kind of applications you run on your computer and what type of data you typically work with.įortunately, you can monitor ReadyBoost performance in Windows 10 to find out.
I described how ReadyBoost works and showed you how to set it up. In last week's post, Is ReadyBoost still an effective tool in Windows 10?, I pointed out that unless you are running Windows 10 on an SSD, ReadyBoost can help improve disk performance.
