Is it good to use USB as a virtual memory for the computer?

The trick of using virtual USB RAM for computers to speed up and improve computer performance should only be a temporary, temporary solution. Why?

Before going to answer this question, you probably need to know what virtual RAM is, as well as a trick to use USB to make virtual RAM.

Okay, now it will be the main issue.

Each computer has one (or more) RAM modules (and there is always a slot to increase the RAM when needed) with certain memory. For some reason, Windows uses up the computer's RAM, it automatically turns the HDD into virtual RAM for use. This means that the RAM memory will be expanded. But you will notice that the device is still slow, jerky and lagged, right?

That's because the read and write speed of the HDD is much slower than the speed of real RAM, so it still slows down the processing speed of the computer.

Speaking of USB, the read and write speed of USB compared to HDD is even slower. So you can imagine how the computer will work when RAM runs out and switch to using virtual RAM from the resulting USB.

Moreover, the main function of USB is to backup data and access speed is quite slow. But RAM needs high speed access, very high, so will make the USB hot and quickly damaged.

If you want to try, or use it temporarily, you can use this trick. But in the long run, to ensure the performance of the computer, the durability of USB, you should buy a new RAM. The cost of 2GB and 4GB RAM is currently not expensive. The new 2GB RAM is only about 300,000 VND, even cheaper. Because it is real RAM, the speed of the machine will be significantly improved and markedly.
