Where sharedPreference value will be stored in Android?

I'm using sharedPreference in Android, but in which memory it will be stored like heap memory or stack memory? How much amount of data we can store in sharedPreference for better experience.

Stack is used for static memory allocation and Heap for dynamic memory allocation, both stored in the computer's RAM .Therefore shared preferences are heap based.

Variables allocated on the heap have their memory allocated at run time and accessing this memory is a bit slower, but the heap size is only limited by the size of virtual memory .
