Clearing Dinjin201's misconceptions

In this Video I Debunk Dinjin201's Video Claiming To use USB thumbdrives As RAM.

Since the paging file is stored on your hard-drive, wouldn't storing the paging file on a decent thumbdrive theoretically be faster than loading it off of your hard-drive, leaving your hard-drive to do other things?

I know neither options can compare to the speed of physical RAM itself, but would there be any speed difference -at all- using his method?

[Rouge7TechSupport]

No Infact it would dramatically Slow down if you used his method. There are No thumbdrives that can compair to the speed of a Physical Harddrive either.. If you want to use your thumbdrive to speed up your computer....use it For Vista's Ready Boost.

So how do we add Ram?

[Rouge7TechSupport]

Your would Buy it at a store, open the side of your Computer Safely remove the old ram and safely insert the new ram, put the side of the computer back on ...and viola

[Rouge7TechSupport]

Well... The method Doesnt Work....Which is Why i made this Video....Virtual Paging Can Simply be done With your hard Disk and usually Produce better results....But thank you For acknowledging That you were mistaken....It was More than Chris Pirillo Could do! lmao

everybody is a expert on youtube

[booobies11111]

tnx.. was just about to do it

[coldindread]

thanks rouge,has the ram i put in the side got to be a certian type for a certian computer or can i just try it [i work at a scrapyard in england ]what damage will i do if i just try random bigger rams [also if i may]how can i id the ram if i need to,thanks,

I need to ask one question, if you do what Dinjin201 says will it speed up your computer or not?

@FiddlerAdam "Sata" isn't external thats E-Sata. And no Sata isn't the fastest. PCI-E is. Also,

Fire-wire is a dead standard.

@TubeRider808 There isn't Usb v6. If it was real then yes it would be way faster.

But a 1tb USB 6.0 drive would still be slow because the hard drive in those external

hdd's only give about 75 mb/s but again it would still be faster than

today's usb standards. It is like that because USB 2.0 only give a real

world max of 40mb/s and though if you want a paging eternal hdd

buy a USB 3.0 one. it gives more than double the speed i think.

[TubeRider808]

@GenuineMW2

so if you go out and buy the fastest usb version 6 i think? this still wouldnt be as quick as virtual paging off your hard drive? Please clarify Thanks!

[K3NatCSS]

also, I think you're confusing bit and byte

[K3NatCSS]

Thanks for making this. I believed that this worked when I was 13, but then I actually learned how page files, RAM and flash works.

@theslothman666 LoL...if only cache could give us cash or win us the lottery, eh?

[jameswasil]

@jameswasil you're far better off going with something like a mushkin SSD drive with a 500MB/s sustained data rate, where you're only at a 33mb per second difference from the very most a PC100 or 133 chip could give you. Esentially, you'd be going from a speed that is DDR2 or DDR3 RAM on your system down to the speed of PC100 SDRAM (but a whole lot of it) on an SSD drive until your available system ram is free again. This is a much better option than to use a flash drive if you can help it.

[jameswasil]

@Apk07 Only if you're using usb 3.0 and a suitable drive capable of utilizing 3.0 speed (like the kingston one I obtained this month), are you going to come even close to 70mb per second on a write operation, or 100mb per second on a read. Keep in mind that even the slowest common RAM about 10 to 15 years ago (PC66 to PC100 ram) had a maximum transfer rate of about 533mb per second at its peak. On average, about 300mb/s, which is still over 3x faster than a 3.0-capable flash drive. It works, but
