I don't understand how this is an advantage. Yes, you can swap RAM with the system powered up, but what happens to the information in the module that was removed? Is the OS doing some kind of RAID-like memory allocation? The article wasn't clear on how this would actually work.
USB devices are also hotpluggable, but that doesn't mean that the data stays in the system if you just pull out the HDD.
But the ram will loose it without being powered.
This would either require persistent memory or something that could cache the flash for some minutes.
