RapidBoot HDD Accelerator
What is RapidBoot HDD Accelerator?
Rapidboot HA is a tool which can help user decrease Windows startup time. The software will creates a compressed cache of files needed at boot. The cache is read into system memory very early during boot and the PC continues to boot out of that cache instead of off the slower rotational drive. This essentially conveys an SSD-like boot experience on HDD systems. It’s an innovative idea that is made possible by shifting the burden from the I/O subsystem to the CPU and memory subsystem.
