Hello there, I am wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether or not you should enable write caching on the flash drive you are using for Readyboost. I recently got a 2TB external drive to use for storage and remembered the write caching settings would probably speed that up so I enabled it since I won't really be disconnecting that drive anyway.
In the process I realized I also did not have write caching enabled for the 2GB flash stick I'm using for Readyboost. I tried to look this up but could not find anything really conclusive except maybe that write caching supposedly does not help flash drives much, similar to why people ask the same question about SSDs.
I would be interested in any thoughts anyone has about this, I doubt it will make much of a difference either way compared to enabling it on a non flash drive though.
