This is the default behavior. There is an env variable to store the data to disk.

N8N_DEFAULT_BINARY_DATA_MODE: filesystem
If you want to do a basic task like download and load a file into a database, n8n doesn't work well unless the file will fit entirely into memory.
I'm sure it's great for other use cases, but that limitation ruled it out for me (for this use case).
