ReadyBoost (codenamed EMD) is a disk caching software component developed by Microsoft for Windows Vista and included in later versions of Windows. ReadyBoost enables NAND memory mass storage CompactFlash, SD card, and USB flash drive devices to be used as a cache between the hard drive and random access memory in an effort to increase computing performance. ReadyBoost relies on the SuperFetch and also adjusts its cache based on user activity. ReadyDrive for hybrid drives is implemented in a manner similar to ReadyBoost.

Em computação, ReadyBoost é um software componente do Windows Vista e de futuros sistemas operacionais da Microsoft para cacheamento do disco. Permite que qualquer dispositivo compatível de armazenamento em massa seja usado como um cache de memória temporário para o disco rígido, com a intenção de aumentar a velocidade de acesso ao disco rígido. Dispositivos potencialmente compatíveis com ReadyBoost incluem memórias flash USB, SSDs, e cartões SD. Há um limite de 32 GB por arquivo de cache.
