The same is true for SD and CF flash memory; random access memory. On the other hand, if you buy a microdrive CF card then you might want to defrag that, since it's a tiny rotating magnetic disc with a read/write head.

Um, last time I checked the BIS is ROM and so are all types of Flash memory. RAM requires a continuous charge, such as the RAM in the Axim. BIS does not, neither does any kind of flash memory.
