Any Storage Device as a RAM
Computer Basics Equipment (Hardware & Software)
CPU (Central Processing Unit):
Mother Board : Hard Disk Drive , Processor , RAM , ROM , Slots , Battery , etc.
SMPS Power Supply , CD/DVD ROM , Floppy Drive , Bus , etc.
Monitor , Key Board , Mouse , Printer , Scanner , etc.
Operating System(OS).
Different Storage Devices:
PRIMARY STORAGE DEVICES:
In this storage capacity is limited & are faster .It has a volatile & temporary memory. Cost is more. Like: RAM , ROM.
SECONDARY STORAGE DEVICES:
In this storage capacity is larger & are slower. It is a nonvolatile & permanent memory. Cost is less. Like: Hard Disk Drive , Floppy Drive , CD/DVD ,Pen Drive, etc.
What is RAM ?
RAM stand for Random Access Memory.
It usually refers to "temporary" memory, which is inactive when the system is shut down, the memory is lost & when the system is turn on it is activated.
It works as a buffer/cache between different components in the PC.
What is Operating System ?
An Operating System is a software program or set of programs that mediate access between physical devices (like keyboard, mouse, monitor, disk drive or network connection) & application programs (like word processor , World-Wide Web browser or electronic mail client).
Some popular Operating System's are:
Pen Drive as a RAM in Windows

Go to advanced and then performance setting then advanced then
Select pen drive and click on custom size “Check the value of space available”
Enter the same in the Initial and the Max columns.
Now restart your pc and enjoy your fast and super system
Virtual Memory
The memory created on secondary storage devices and primary storage device to expand effectively a computer system's primary storage.
By using this memory hard disk/pen drive to simulate additional random-access memory (RAM).
It takes the load whenever RAM is nearly full.
Mounting
Mounting is the computing or attaching of an additional file system to the currently accessible file system of a computer.
A mount point is a directory or folder (typically an empty one) in the currently accessible file system on which an additional file system is mounted (i.e., logically attached).
