Do you have a lot of start up programs? </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/version-5-features#post-1395 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 04:05:31 +0000 mradr 1395@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Emile:<br /> Hello, I don't think you can because cache data is compress data; so there for, data that is already compress can not be recompress without lossing importing information in the procces.</p> <p>Vienna:<br /> They already have that.</p> <p>Boworn:<br /> Bug fixs are always on the list:), but I do agree 100%.</p> <p>Everyone else:<br /> Well I think eboostr still has a lot of life still. SSD are still perty high and a lot of ppl want storage vs speed still. I think eboostr should sell it self as a way to turn their SSD into a hybrid SSD/HDD so both partys come out strong such as Intel and OCZ are doing. With eboostr as software, it'll become a cheaper way vs the way thos two are going about it.</p> <p>As for ram... computers are comming more and more with ram, but even on 64 bit os, software only takes/uses about 4-6GBs... One way windows 7 trys to hide that fact is, window 7 will "use" the rest of that ram up as caching for when you click on something else or release it as a program needs more space in ram. I don't see the goal for eboostr in this area using ram on 64bit OS as cache, but eboostr could do something like this instead:</p> <p>(Windows 7, or even linx, doesn't know what you are about to start/run. When a program is told to run/load, it goes throw both the ram and disk to find where it is. Random IO becomes very important in how fast a program will start up and write as it neededs. To combat this, system programmer made cache to help lession that randomness to small already loaded files. One way eboostr can also combat this is by loading cache data when the user mouse is above a icon (icon being a image, short-cut, program (such as a .exe), and whatever) to lession even more read from the disk.</p> <p>That is fine, but read is only half the story. Here is where Eboostr can shine also by learning what a program likes to write out and at what time(s). For example, if a program tends to like to write small 4k files, instead of saving them to the disk, ebsootr can save it to the flash drive to save time then slowly rewrite it back to the disk as a copy. It can also tell the HDD to get ready to write by having the head of the HDD already waiting at the area by writing a small file a head of time because new data has to be writen on the outside of the disk so not to clash with other data blocks.)</p> <p>Readyboost will become a thing of the past once SSD become mainstream, but I think eboostr can still live on as long as it grows too. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/version-5-features#post-1392 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 12:48:33 +0000 Gizmo 1392@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>I am thinking the same about the SSD case, the RAM CACHE for SSD should help it at IO speed &amp; MTBF of MLC SSD. looking forward for NEXT eBoostr. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/version-5-features#post-1391 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 23:52:45 +0000 Boworn 1391@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>You should fix BSOD in version4 result after SLEEP or HIBERNATION before anything else. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/i-just-tried-it-on-my-thinkpad-t400#post-1390 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 08:15:39 +0000 ruanqizhen 1390@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>The OS is Windows7 64bit<br /> I create the cache on my 2G Intel Turbo Memory<br /> It takes 50 seconds to start up before using eBoostr.<br /> And 40 seconds after using eBoostr.</p> <p>The data is an approximate one.

When the Rapid Storage is installed, the eBoostr service fails to start. However, downgrading to the Matrix Storage fixes the issue.</p> <p>EDIT: My apologies.<br /> By choosing to locate my filestat.dat on my Turbo Memory, it ended up not being to find the file with the new drivers as it didn't show the existence of the drive. Therefore, by reinstalling only the Turbo Memory driver, I regained access to the Turbo Memory drive, assigned it a drive letter, and eBoostr was happy to create a new filestat.dat and begin chugging away.</p> <p>Keep up the good work! </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/complete-cache-rebuild-after-waking-from-hibernation#post-1370 Thu, 06 May 2010 09:52:34 +0000 shigy21 1370@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Colonel ONeill,</p> <p>Hi, I agree with the improvement of this problem.</p> <p>When "Build cache now" button is clicked while holding the "Alt" key, the function to do the full cache rebuilding is added by the previous version though the history page was not able to be found.</p> <p>I think that it is because the shortcut key function of Windows has collided with the "Alt" key recognition of eBoostr control panel.<br /> It is necessary to allocate the key when full cache rebuild in not the "Alt" key but other keys.</p> <p>example:<br /> [Alt]+[B] -&gt; usual cache rebuilding.<br /> [Shift]+[Alt]+[B] -&gt; full cache rebuilding.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/complete-cache-rebuild-after-waking-from-hibernation#post-1368 Mon, 03 May 2010 19:35:47 +0000 Colonel ONeill 1368@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Sigh.</p> <p>I have since isolated the issue, and it's a trivial one at that.</p> <p>When I _click_ the Build Cache Now button, it builds the cache as expected.<br /> When I _press_ the Alt+B hotkey, it flushes everything.</p> <p>It would be very nice if the devteam could fix this; I'm accustomed to using hotkeys to do things, and this is quite irritating, if not unexpected. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/complete-cache-rebuild-after-waking-from-hibernation#post-1367 Mon, 03 May 2010 14:17:27 +0000 Colonel ONeill 1367@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Argh... I've reinstalled eBoostr RTM and RC several times and it's still purging the entire cache of every device on rebuild. Could anyone list or identify the conditions that would cause the entire cache to be invalidated? I remember if I removed my SD card without first safely ejecting it, eBoostr would completely rebuild the cache on the SD card the next time. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/complete-cache-rebuild-after-waking-from-hibernation#post-1366 Mon, 03 May 2010 11:25:40 +0000 Colonel ONeill 1366@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Actually, it's happening without going into hibernate... and on every cache build... </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/complete-cache-rebuild-after-waking-from-hibernation#post-1365 Sun, 02 May 2010 12:47:53 +0000 Colonel ONeill 1365@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Recently, it seems that when I do a cache rebuild after waking from hibernate, eBoostr invalidates every cache and rebuilds them from zero. With almost 2GB worth of cache space, it takes quite a while for it to fill up every device (not to mention wearing out flash read/write cycles).</p> <p>Does anyone else have the same issue? Is there a solution to this issue?</p> <p>It first appeared after installing eBoostr 4 RTM, and I have since rolled back to RC, but with the same results. This is unlikely an eBoostr fault and more so a simple error on my part, but I can't seem to pinpoint what causes it? </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/one-year-of-free-upgrades-to-any-new-versions#post-1364 Sat, 01 May 2010 16:33:15 +0000 Robert Persons 1364@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Since you are a beta member (since you are here), you can go the development blog of this site, look for the latest release posting, and find the link to a free license.
