That means disk if the UA chooses, though virtual memory would be my first conclusion, I see no reason for preventing the use of the filesystem directly. I believe that the Blob concept is intentionally vague in this regard. Given that there are no explicit performance constraints, in the extreme case I don't see why a Blob couldn't be saved in cloud storage with some local caching. The performance might suffer a little, but I don't see any need to expressly prevent it.
