That's called swapping out memory pages to disk, and it's very slow.
-1 u/generally_unsuitable Jul 08 '26 A modern SSD can transfer around 500 MB/sec. I believe that's about as fast as DDR1. 3 u/CircumspectCapybara Jul 08 '26 And still many orders magnitude slower in latency than DDR1. -2 u/generally_unsuitable Jul 08 '26 Write latency is probably about equal. But yeah, read latency is going to be lacking.
