How to turn on and off Xundisk on ThinkPad is as follows:

Find the Xundisk console in Start--Programs. Put a check mark in the checkbox if enabled. If disabled uncheck the checkbox.

Introduction to Xundisk:

A new addition by Intel in Santa Rosa The new flash memory acceleration technology is code-named FRMT (ROBSON), which is Turbo Memory technology, and its Chinese name is Xunpan. It speeds up the system and reduces energy consumption. Its function is mainly to use large-capacity flash memory as a buffer to partially improve the disk performance and overall performance of the system.

Xundisk is a PCI-E interface card, which is connected to the motherboard through the PCI-E interface like the wireless module. Ready Boost and Ready Drive functions can be provided with the support of the system. These functions will directly significantly improve the performance of the system in tasks related to disk operations such as startup, hibernation, installation of programs, copying files, loading games, etc. Official data shows that Xundisk can double the startup and running speed of software, accelerate boot speed by 20%, and reduce the number of hard disk revolutions to save power consumption.

If the notebook uses a Xundisk flash memory acceleration module, the way data is read/written will be different. The hard disk will read out a large amount of data in batches at one time and temporarily store it in the Xun disk for the system to call at any time; at the same time, the data that needs to be written is also temporarily stored in the Xun disk, and will be written to the hard disk in a unified manner after a certain amount is accumulated. , this ready-to-use read/write mechanism is very helpful to improve system performance. During this time, the hard disk is idle, and the larger the capacity of the Xundisk, the longer the hard disk will be idle, thereby reducing the number of mechanical rotations and power consumption, and extending the battery life of the notebook.

Currently, the Xundisk sold by Intel only has two versions: 512M and 1G. If you use a 1G Xundisk, you can realize the ReadyBoost function and the ReadyDriver function at the same time. If you use a 512M Xundisk, you can only Implement ReadyBoost function.

Implementation conditions:

1. In terms of hardware, to use Intel Flash Drive, the notebook requires a MINI PCI-E interface for use, and it must be based on INTEL 965 chipset for the Centrino platform. Have at least one SATAhard disk, and enable the AHCI function of the BIOS.

2. In terms of software, the corresponding control software must be installed. Currently, VISTA 32bit and VISTA 64bit are supported.

3. Intel 512M or 1G NAND flash memory.
