1,073,741,824 bytes. One gigabyte is equal to 1,024 megabytes.

A 'flash drive', aka 'thumb drive', 'USB drive', 'pen drive', 'stick drive', and other names, is really nothing more than a stick of DRAM with a controller chip and a tiny battery wrapped in a portable case. Because it is RAM-based, storage is measured in binary units (kibibytes) instead of the standard metric (kilobytes) units that hard drives use.

A 1GB (GigaByte) memory stick will contain 1GB of memory.

As memory still uses powers of 2 (not powers of 10) when talking about capacity, 1 gigabyte is equal to 1024 ^ 3 = 1,073,741,824 bytes of memory.

Is it possible to use a flash drive instead of physical ram on a computer that doesn't have ram?

No, you can not use a flash drive in place of RAM. Even if you could, it would not be a good alternative to RAM. Flash drives have a much slower data transfer rate, and a longer access time. Even if this were possible, it would drastically slow your computer down. Windows Vista does have the capability to use a flash drive to improve the computer's performance - it is a feature called ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost allows a flash drive to be an intermediary between the RAM and Virtual Memory. Virtual Memory is stored on your hard drive - it is used to swap items stored in RAM that are not being used to speed up the memory access time for things that are being used. Since Flash Drives are usually faster than hard drives, if you have a small amount of memory on your PC, it can speed it up.

How do you recover flash drive files?

You have almost much chances to recover lost files from USB flash as long as the user do the right things. By relying on a USB flash drive recovery program (see related link) users can retrieve USB files deleted, formatted or lost due to any reasons provided that the data contained in the files are not overwritten (by new data) which means you'd better immediately stop using the flash drive in case you may ruin the chances of USB flash recovery.
