Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cache memory is a small-sized type of volatile computer memory that provides high-speed data access to a processor and stores frequently used computer programs, applications and data.

Detailed explanation-2: -SSDs are newer and faster data storage devices. Like HDDs, they can hold terabytes of data, but, unlike HDDs, every piece of data on an SSD can be accessed instantaneously. That means that with an SSD, you can load up large files in seconds rather than minutes.

Detailed explanation-3: -HDDs are cheaper and you can get more storage space. SSDs, however, are incredibly faster, lighter, more durable, and they use less energy. Your needs will dictate which storage drive will work best for you. Find out about the benefits of solid state drives.

Detailed explanation-4: -HDDs can copy 30 to 150 MB per second (MB/s), while standard SSDs perform the same action at speeds of 500 MB/s. Newer NVME SSDs can even show speeds of up to an astounding 3, 000 to 3, 500 MB/s. With an SSD, you can copy a 20 GB movie in less than 10 seconds, while a hard disk would take at least two minutes.
