There are two types of memory in computer.

1. Physical Memory (RAM)

2. Page File (A virtual memory file, stored on hard disk).

The page file is used by the Windows OS to cater the needs of various applications when the physical memory is fully used up. The reason for that is, that Virtual memory is slower as compared to the physical memory and thus Physical memory takes the first priority.

Benefits of USB Flash Drive or Cards as a source of Memory 

• It is faster than the virtual memory which is accessed through the hard disk drive.

• It is cheaper as compared to the actually Physical Memory.

• If your device is not giving the option of ReadyBoost then it means that it doesn’t clear up the minimum data transfer rate required by ReadBoost technology.
