There are a number of types of digital memory available, such as hard disk drive (HDD), random access memory (RAM), solid state drives (SSD) and cache memory. Is there an advantage to having multiple standards or would it be beneficial to consumers if there was only one memory standard, such as just the various sizes of SSDs? Would having a single standard be less expensive and more convenient for consumers?

Answer:
We can have hdd or ssd but ram is compulsory and cache memory is free of cost
Explanation:
Difference between HDD and SSD
A hard disk drive (HDD) is an old-school storage device that uses mechanical platters and a moving read/write head to access data.
A solid-state drive (SSD) is a newer, faster type of device that stores data on instantly-accessible memory chips.
(i would prefer HDD because it give moderate speed and costs less SSD is mainly used for transferring files and installing window so boot up time will be faster ) ( its less expensive compared to SSD )
RAM
It stands for Random Access Memory, and it's a type of super-fast storage that your computer uses to hold data it needs in the short term. Think of your hard drive as a filing cabinet where all your data is stored and the RAM like your desk, where you put the stuff you're currently working on.
( RAM is actually used for managing the application which are running on your system) ( i would prefer 4gb ram as it is cheap and we can do everything except playing high end games )
Cache memory
It is an extremely fast memory type that acts as a buffer between RAM and the CPU. It holds frequently requested data and instructions so that they are immediately available to the CPU when needed. Cache memory is used to reduce the average time to access data from the Main memory
(Cache memory is a temporary memory which is used to store data from browser . so next time it wouldn't take much time to load as before ) ( this is free of cost and it comes inbuild in both SSD and HDD )
Answer:
hope it will help
Explanation:
SSDs in general are more reliable than HDDs, which again is a function of having no moving parts. ... SSDs commonly use less power and result in longer battery life because data access is much faster and the device is idle more often. With their spinning disks, HDDs require more power when they start up than SSDs.
