Hey Misty,
That was a really clear and well-organized explanation. I like how you described each type of data storage and explained what makes them different. You did a great job showing how primary storage like RAM is fast and used for temporary data, while secondary storage such as hard drives and solid-state drives is used to keep files and programs even when the computer is turned off. I also liked that you included tertiary or archival storage, like magnetic tapes and CDs, since many people forget those are still important for backups and long-term storage. Mentioning cloud storage was also a nice touch because it shows how modern technology has made it easier for people to save and access their data from anywhere. I think your point about how the best storage option depends on speed, cost, and how quickly the data is needed really ties everything together well.
