This is not how it works , you can’t add physical memory via a usb. All this method does is make ram storage move to your ssd/hdd therefore increasing overall space and memory which yes does increase performance but it won’t physically make a big diffdifference

Great vid thx :) Cool little operation. I have a question. I know that computers have a max amt of RAM they can use. Upgrading it or putting RAM in past that point, wont hurt the computer, but it just wont be used. Does that still apply to this operation your show? Does this still have to be within that max amt or is this a little cheat to get a bit above that amt?

Make a new video, use a tool which consumes 4 GB of RAM for testing purposes and show that your system is still running smooth with Readyboost. Repeat without Readyboost and compare. And put your camera on a tripod.
