A buffer is a temporary storage area in computer memory used to store data being transferred between devices. A swap file is a dedicated space on a hard drive used by the operating system to store data from inactive memory pages. Buffers are used to improve data transfer speeds, while swap files are used to free up RAM by moving less frequently accessed data out of memory.
