In fact, if the thumb drive is too slow, ReadyBoost won't access it at all. After testing 22 different flash drives, we found that the only ones that showed a notable increase in benchmark scores are those capable of 30MB/sec reads & 20MB/sec writes. Out of the 22 tested, the 2GB Corsair Flash Voyager GT came out on top in every test...but beware of the non-GT models.
