This is hilarious!

eBoostr does everything that Microsoft ReadyBoost can do. It replaces relatively slow access to hard disk by fast one to flash memory, allowing you to use up to four different flash devices, and provides the same benefits of increased system performance, improved application load times and better overall responsiveness.

When USB 2.0 memory became faster then SATA disks?!

eBoostr is even more useful than ReadyBoost as it does not place strict performance requirements on the flash memory you use to speed up your system. While ReadyBoost requires you to use faster and more costly memory cards, eBoostr can work with just about every inexpensive flash drive on the market

Do you know why? Because this actually is sensible. ReadyBoost from MS is technology meant for SolidStateDisks which are much faster than SATA or any other magnetic based disk drive!
One more thing that should be pointed out - USB is serial bus with shared bandwidth. If you use 10MB/s for this insanse cache stuff your printer, sound card, scanner or any other device will have LESS bandwidth for its data.
SSD disks are attached to SATA2 interface which can handle over 300MB/s and SSD disks are close to SATA2 bus limit.
You should understand memory hierarchy and memory management to know what can be "boosted" and what can't. You can't boost disk read speed of 60MB/s with device that can do only 10MB/s.
