Most likely not, NO RAM onboard a flash drive to run an OS, just for storage of files / documents of all & any type.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, you'd want an SSD drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would only use it for file storage and copies, and not to run a Windows operating system on. For that purpose, you wold be better off with an extra physical internal drive, or a SSD card for one of the motherboard slots. If you just want it for backups and storage, you may want to consider an external drive that would have a much larger capacity (like 4GB, for example).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, as long as you don't forget where you place the memory stick down, it work just like the memory on your hard drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Honestly, a USB drive is for storage of particular items. It will not replace a SSD or hard drive. However, this USB drive can be utilized to back up certain PC files. Also, to backup a program before doing an update where changes may eliminate some essential functions. Very effective for volume work and sizable files that you do not want to store on PC.
