Eboostr

eBoostr is a disk caching software that can use up to four drives including Nand (USB Flash memory) to improve data access speed and latency to cache memory.

Legacy computer life extention

This XP software could be a solution to 2007-2008 Nand memory chip oversupply and price erosion due in part to low adoption of Windows Vista thus ReadyBoost. Because Flash Nand memory is cheaper than RAM and also because of the scarcity of legacy DDR RAM from production switching to DDR2 and DDR3, this caching technology is a cheap solution for improving performance on computer with small amount of SDRAM (below 512MB). Switching these computer from XP to Vista even with ReadyBoost would have made more harm in term of performance.

Note: PC with USB 1.0 can't benefit from this technology.

Cheap Flash memory available in early 2008 has a maximum data rate averaging 25 MB/s. So by using more than one simultaneously it allows reaching the USB 2.0 limit of 60 MB/s (480 Mb/s) and with a much lower latency (~1 ms) than hard disk drives.

Note: Vista's caching technology ReadyBoost can't take benefit from more than one drive.
