Hi. This is my first posting here, so please bear with me.
I recently bought 2 ReadyCache drives to put into my 2 pc’s. However one of them is still running Windows XP. So I had the idea of installing the spare into my Windows 7 machine, formatting it NTFS, setting it as drive Z:, and using it to hold the page file. I also made sure to turn off automatic defragmentation and indexing on the drive.
I therefore turned off the page file on my other drives and set up the second ReadyCache to be the only drive for it. At first I set it so that all of the space was allocated, but I kept getting messages about low free space on the drive. I therefore told Windows to manage the amount of space used. Everything is now working well and I have noticed a definite improvement when using my machine to render video and other such high data usage programs.
Hope this is useful.
Pete
