What is ReadyBoost? Installed System memory Supplement to installed system memory. Provides virtual memory on a USB Flash drive instead of a hard drive for small files that overflow from system memory pool. ReadyBoost • Kingston is already shipping DataTraveler ReadyFlash (DTR) drives to support ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is primarily for systems that cannot be updated with memory. • Kingston recommends memory upgrades as first option if possible.
What is BitLocker? Its like putting a padlock on your computer…… …. And a Kingston USB Flash drive is the key • Available only in Enterprise and Ultimate Versions of Vista • “Key” can be USB drive or user determined PIN Help! I lost the Key?!?!? - If used in corporate server managed environment, “key” can be reset by administrator - If used at home you’re out of luck if you don’t have a duplicate key! Except for DTEP and DTSP, all Kingston DataTraveler drives support BitLocker.
