| Usage | Long-term storage of data, including OS, programs, files, etc. | Temporary storage of currently running programs and data being processed | Stores frequently accessed data and instructions, reducing the number of CPU accesses to memory |
| Volatility | Data is not lost after power off | Data is lost after power off | Data is lost after power off |
| Capacity | Larger, TB level | Smaller, GB level | Very small, MB level |
| Speed | Slower, several hundred to thousands MB/s | Faster, several tens of GB/s | Very fast, several tens to hundreds of GB/s |
| Price | Cheaper, a few cents to a few dollars / GB | More expensive, tens to hundreds of dollars / GB | Very expensive, priced with CPU |

The computer storage system can be visualized as a pyramid, as shown in the figure below. The storage devices at the top of the pyramid are faster, have smaller capacities, and are more expensive. This multi-level design is not accidental, but a deliberate outcome of careful consideration by computer scientists and engineers.
