A memory storage unit refers to a component of a computer or digital device that holds data temporarily or permanently. It can include various types of storage, such as Random Access Memory (RAM) for temporary data storage and hard drives or solid-state drives (SSD) for long-term data retention. The capacity and speed of these units significantly impact a device's performance and its ability to run applications efficiently. Memory storage units are essential for managing and accessing data in modern computing systems.
A byte (character) is the basic storage unit in memory.

It is the memory capacity of the storage unit.

central processing unit comprising of arithmetic logic unit and control unit, and RAM i.e.the internal memory
The primary storage unit, also known as the main memory or RAM (Random Access Memory), is used to store data and instructions that the CPU (Central Processing Unit) needs to access quickly while executing programs. It is volatile memory, meaning that its contents are erased when the power is turned off.
The Nintendo DS relies on battery backed storage in the individual game cartridges for all memory storage. There is a small amount of built-in memory in the Nintendo DS unit itself, however, this is not expandable. Nintendo and third parties do not currently offer external memory storage cards for the Nintendo DS.
A mass-memory unit is a type of storage device that is used to store large amounts of data in various electronic devices such as computers and digital cameras. It typically has a higher storage capacity compared to conventional memory units like RAM and can retain data even when the device is turned off. Examples of mass-memory units include hard drives, solid-state drives, and memory cards.

The memory in a mobile phone typically consists of a combination of RAM (for temporary data storage) and internal storage (for apps and files), often optimized for energy efficiency and compactness. In contrast, a system unit's memory, which includes RAM and hard drives or SSDs, is generally larger and designed for higher performance and multitasking capabilities. Additionally, mobile memory is often non-removable, while system unit memory components can be upgraded or replaced more easily. Overall, mobile phone memory prioritizes portability and battery efficiency, whereas system unit memory focuses on performance and expandability.
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the "thinking" brain and the various forms of storage (cache, RAM, permanent storage) are the "memory", short and long term.
