I didn't think it was RAM - I was reading the stuff on the USB Mass Storage Linux Gadget which I understand provides the USB interface. As this is a service that runs on bootup of the Glo and spoofs what looks like a FAT Filesystem from an area of memory (albeit derived from the SD card) I understand that this will re-create the virtual file system on each re-boot. Somewhere I'm sure when poking about with various tools I saw the "drive" shown as a Linux mass Storage Gadget, which is why I reasoned as above. As I mentioned though the issue only arises under Win 8.1 .
