Discuss the trade-offs between using volatile RAM and non-volatile storage (e.g., SSDs, HDDs) in computer systems for both performance and data persistence.

HDDs, RAM, SSDs, and cache memory are all types of digital memory. These are in computers. Is there an advantage to having many standards, or would it be better for consumers if there was only one memory standard, like SSD sizes? Is it beneficial to have several standards? Would consumers benefit from one standard?

Exists a distinction between data storage architecture and storage architecture?

Discuss the trade-offs between using traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) in terms of memory access speed and data persistence.
