On the bottom line Readyboost just isn't worth the bits needed to represent its name in ASCII.

By using a ReadyBoost USB Key, will it use it to speed up boot up time like with a ReadyDrive? Or is the Ready Drive feature exclusive to hybrid hard drives? disk grinding (caused by Vista keeping the Index up-to-date) rather than the extra few seconds needed for Windows Search to find files with it turned off.

The blogs you refer to are interesting, and the USB flash drive I have tested does meet all the performance requirements that are needed for a flash drive Of course USB is "slow" and hard drives are "fast" But hard drives are great for large sequential I/O. For those situations, ReadyBoost gets out of the way.
