Corsair TurboFlash 1GB USB2.0 Vista ReadyBoost (CMFUSBTV2.0-1GB)

Vs

Corsair Flash Voyager 2GB USB2.0 Flash Drives (CMFUSB2.0-2GB)

Is there a performance difference or they are the same with only different size?

The turboflash has a faster read/write speed

I believe the first one is designed to be used with vista in its "speedboost" function where it uses the flash drive as an extension of RAM so id say it was faster that the second one

is that true? so you could have like 10 gigs of ram?

yeah, although it obviously isnt as quick as real RAM, read up on it on the vista section of the MS site (helps eliminate the need for loads of pagefile)

Do you think this readyboost idea will make a noticable difference with 2x36 raptors RAID 0? How faster is the flash?
