Is using USB as RAM harmful?

It’s not harmful to your computer but it can damage your flash drive. In this case the system uses the hard drive as RAM (swap file) and this makes the computer quite slow. The USB-Solution is better than the swap file solution but much slower than more RAM, because USB 2.0 is limited to 50 or 60 MB/s transfer-speed.

What’s the difference between FAT32 and exFAT file system?

However, FAT32 has limits on single file size and partition size, while exFAT does not.

After comparing NTFS vs FAT32 vs exFAT, you can choose a suitable file system for your drive according to your needs.

Which is better for ReadyBoost NTFS or FAT32?

At 32KB allocation you should use FAT32 as it’s way more compatible with everything from stand alone devices to other OSes like Linux & Mac. I recommend you try using a much larger exFAT as partition 2 for your ReadyBoost. Try 1MB allocation size and move your way up to 4MB, 16MB, 32MB.

Which is the best exFAT block for ReadyBoost?

If your ReadyBoost device is being used exclusively for ReadyBoost try out exFAT with a 32MB allocation block. It means when your computer wants to write a file it will reserve 32MB and write to it and when it wants to read it will read 32MB of data into ram in a single read which will cut down thousands of otherwise unnecessary reads/delays.

Which is better for a flash drive NTFS or exFAT?

NTFS vs exFAT NTFS is ideal for internal drives, while exFAT is generally ideal for flash drives. Both of them have no realistic file-size or partition-size limits. If storage devices are not compatible with NTFS file system and you don’t want to limited by FAT32, you can choose exFAT file system.
