Question

There are many different kinds of digital memory that may be used, such as cache memory, hard disk drives (HDD), random access memory (RAM), solid state drives (SSD), and others. Cache memory is used to store frequently used data. The use of computers makes all of these things available to the user. Is it beneficial to have a variety of standards, or would it be more convenient for customers if there was only one memory standard, with the exception of varying sizes of solid-state drives (SSDs)? If having numerous standards has any advantages, what exactly are those advantages? Is there any advantage to having a wide variety of standards to choose from? If there was just one standard that needed to be adhered to, would that make things easier and more economical for customers?
