"Flash drives" use a technology that has a large but limited number of erase/write operations before it starts to fail. The memory in flash drives is commonly engineered with multi-level cell (MLC) based memory that is good for around 3,000-5,000 program-erase cycles, but some flash drives have single-level cell (SLC) based memory that is good for around 100,000 writes. RAM writes and erases hundreds or thousands of times a second in certain areas. You do not want the RAM in your computer to fail that quickly.
